Luxurious hotel brings upscale affluence to downtown Portland

Previously a Days Inn, the hotel was revamped and is now the epitome of upscale lodging. The sleek 174 rooms and suites feature free Wi-Fi, elegant decor and room amenities that include down bedding and flat-screen high-definition TVs. The Hotel Modera houses the chic restaurant Nel Centro, which features the cuisine of the French and Italian Riviera, such as butternut squash tortelloni with sage butter.

really sweet low-key escape

you could go just for the front garden, which is marvelous. but you will also love the whole mood of the place, which is quietly festive. the staff is really pleasant and polished. and the location cannot be beat.
