Item Description

A one night's stay in a Superior King Room at the Governor Hotel and a beer-sampling tour of some of Portland, Oregon's greatest breweries.  Also included is a private History Tour of the Governor Hotel provided by the Chief Concierge, and a hardbound book detailing the history of the Governor Hotel to take home with you.

Brew Tour: The Governor Hotel is celebrating 100 years of perfecting service in 2009 and has organized this special package to honor why Portland has often been called the microbrew capital of the world.  For your mapped-out tour you'll take the Portland Street Car just outside the hotel's door and visit Deschutes Brewery, Rogue Ale House, Henry's 12th Street Tavern, and Laurelwood Brewing Company. At each stop you will receive a sampler platter to try the latest brews and a pint of your favorite ale to take home.

An architectural treasure listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the elegant Governor Hotel in downtown Portland ranks as one of the true landmarks of the Pacific Northwest. The six-story hotel, which covers more than half a city block, was built in the boom years immediately following Portland’s 1905 Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition. Murals portraying scenes from the explorers’ journey, Native American-inspired themes, rustic chandeliers, and rich wood textures capture the romance of Oregon’s past, while gilded archways and ornate sconces add glamour. The Governor is also noteworthy for its magnificent terra cotta facade.
