The Nines is a luxury hotel in Portland, Oregon, occupying the top nine floors of the Meier and Frank Building. It is a franchise of The Luxury Collection by Marriott International, managed by Sage Hospitality Resources.
The name comes from two nines: the Meier and Frank Building opened in 1909, and the hotel opened in 2008. The hotel also occupies exactly the top nine floors of that building.
The Nines has 331 rooms, including 32 suites. That makes it the sixth largest hotel in Portland by room count.
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust acquired The Nines in July 2014 for $127 million, which worked out to $384,000 per key.
The Nines has two restaurants. Urban Farmer is a gourmet steakhouse on the 8th floor, which also serves as the hotel lobby. Departure Restaurant and Lounge offers Pan-Asian cuisine and sits at the top of the building.
The Nines is owned by Pebblebrook Hotel Trust and managed by Sage Hospitality Resources. It operates as part of The Luxury Collection franchise under Marriott International.
