Portland, Oregon, United States · Kimpton · Accessible Luxury
Portland's Richardsonian Romanesque Imperial Hotel opened in March 1894 and later hosted the founding of the Pacific Coast Conference on 2 December 1915. Split from its 1909 annex in 1949 and renamed the Plaza, it sat as offices until Kimpton reopened it in May 1991 as Hotel Vintage Plaza. A $16 million redo in 2015 yielded today's Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland, still National Register-listed.

History
The building that houses Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland was constructed between 1892 and 1894 in the Richardsonian Romanesque style and opened in March 1894 as the Imperial Hotel. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 2 December 1985, and had been renamed the Plaza Hotel in 1949.
Kimpton acquired the property in 1989 and reopened it in May 1991 as the Hotel Vintage Plaza, giving it a Willamette Valley wine theme in which each guestroom is named for a local winery. Following a 16 million US dollar renovation it was renamed Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland in March 2015. The 10-storey hotel has 117 rooms.
