Description: The Avalon Hotel and Spa is a beautiful hotel with a special difference: It is the only hotel in the area dedicated to providing spa services as part of its mission and built—in an environmentally friendly way, no less—with these services in mind. And Portland residents, who don’t usually stay in Portland hotels, believe this was a wise move. This hotel delights residents and visitors alike. Its commitment to old-fashioned luxury and service have made it an instant classic.The Avalon is in an attractive building south of downtown on the Willamette River, in the South Waterfront district. It offers 99 rooms, 18 of them suites. Public spaces and rooms alike are outfitted with sleek but comfortable furnishings and plush rugs. Many rooms have balconies that look out on the Willamette, to Mount Hood, and beyond. Bathrooms, which feature marble, wood, and stone accents, are spacious. The concierge staff is outstanding. Room service is available from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and the full-service Rivers restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. To keep things pristine, no smoking or pets are allowed.Spa services are worth the extra cost. The slate-floored spa, which is downstairs, features an excellent array of services—including massages, facials, and pedicures—that promise restoration to tired bodies and souls. Body wraps of various concoctions of mud, antioxidants, and unguents are especially alluring. Don’t miss the Raindance room, with its Vichy and Swiss showers.
