The Mark Spencer Hotel - A historic downtown Portland hotel with full kitchens, daily wine reception, and art-filled rooms

Located where the West End meets The Pearl District, The Mark Spencer combines historic architecture with modern amenities across its beautifully renovated rooms. Each guest room features a full kitchen with cookware, luxury bedding, 50-inch LED TVs, and Carrera marble bathrooms with Italian glass tile. The property showcases local artists' work throughout its corridors and rooms, while offering daily amenities like wine receptions from 5-6 PM featuring Pacific Northwest wines and cheese. Guest rooms range from Standard Queens to the 600-square-foot Master Suite with French doors and spa-like bathrooms. This Portland hotel provides easy access to Powell's Books, Portland Center Stage, and numerous galleries. The Mark Spencer sits within walking distance of Pioneer Place shopping center and Portland State University.

Pros

Daily complimentary wine reception featuring regional wines and cheese

On-site Spencer Café serves house-roasted coffee and fresh breakfast

Room service available from adjacent Cheryl's on 12th restaurant

Historic property that once hosted Louis Armstrong and Sammy Davis Jr.

Cons

“The Mark Spencer Hotel strikes me as a solid choice for visitors who want to explore Portland's Pearl District. I noted the wine and cheese social in the late afternoon, a thoughtful touch. I think its proximity to Powell's Books and other cultural sites makes it especially appealing.”

An Excellent Stay

accommodating staff good touch vintage architecture
I found the staff to be accommodating. They stowed my luggage before check-in, (a real lifesaver!) and contacted me as soon as my room was ready. The complimentary wine, cheese, and crackers in the afternoon were a good touch. I appreciated the vintage architecture and remodeled bathrooms.
The heating unit in my room didn't work properly. While a space heater was provided, it wasn't a perfect solution. I wish the issue had been resolved more effectively.
