Enjoy everything Portland has to offer

The new conference venue, the Hilton Portland Downtown, is steps away from Portland’s compact, walkable city core. Attendees will have easy access to great food, green spaces, cultural offerings, tax-free shopping, and much more.

If you want to explore more of the city, hop on the MAX Light Rail located 0.1 miles from the hotel entrance.
