Travel Agent - July 21, 2008 - (Page 31)

A rendering of a Hotel Fifty bathroom, which will feature recycled sinks Young describes it. “We can fulfill the needs of a business traveler who wants to have a highpowered meeting and impress a client, but we can also cater to a family with kids,” she says. In fact, Young suggests guests can combine their trips and bring families along to enjoy a relaxing weekend after a business meeting. At the hotel, Young recommends that guests book the River or Bridgeview rooms, which offer premium views. Several of the hotel’s special deals appeal to different kinds of travelers: some offer special access to the local museums or the Portland Zoo, and one offers tickets to the Japanese Garden and the Portland Classical Chinese Garden. In keeping with Portland’s fame for its microbreweries and brewpubs, Hotel Fifty also offers a package for attendees of the Oregon Brewers Festival at the end of July. “We have up to a hundred brewers across the street showing their wares,” Young says, and then amends: “Or letting you taste their wares.” Agents should call 877-505-7220 and speak to Young to make reservations.
