Periander Park offers a delightful contrast to the hustle and bustle of downtown. Meander around the grounds or fling off your shoes and feel the grass beneath your feet.

Periander Park is the perfect place to begin discovering Southwest Portland. This recreation and green space is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Oregon Zoo, Portland State University, and Portland Japanese Garden to fully appreciate what the area has to offer.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,838 reviews)

Staff and customer service top notch, bedding was comfortable, I would definitely go for the larger room to feel more quality as I stayed in both the economy king room vs premium king rooms, definitely two different experiences. Both are nice but premium is definitely worth it. They have wine tasting and a very nice sitting area as well. Overall great stay, hotel is a bit dated but has charm & housecleaning/cleanliness is great!

10/10 Exceptional! (62 reviews)

Beautiful and Peaceful. Large room, wonderful sunrise views and amazing breakfasts. Friendly staff that respect your privacy and peace, so much that on a couple occasions I couldn’t find anyone. But if you want a quiet get away with a loved one, you’ll get it here.

This rustic set of handrails was installed on a group of switchbacks in the center of the park. The switchbacks below the handrails and those above are no more perilous than those where the handrails are installed. Just less interesting to photograph, I guess.
