Portland has 5 hotels ranked in the finehotels.world index. Blind Tiger Portland – Carleton Street leads on prestige score at 5.20 out of 10, followed by Blind Tiger Portland – Danforth Street and The Hoxton, Portland. Of those, 5 hold MICHELIN Keys.
Five ranked properties carry the Portland name, all holding MICHELIN Keys, and they belong to two different cities. The larger group is in Oregon, where Woodlark joins two restored downtown buildings, the 1912 Woodlark and the Cornelius, into one hotel in the West End, and The Hoxton, Portland works a 1906 structure in Old Town with a basement bar and a rooftop restaurant. The Ritz-Carlton, Portland occupies the upper floors of a new downtown tower.
The remaining pair sits on the Maine coast, in the residential West End streets above Portland's working harbour, where restored nineteenth-century houses have been turned into small guesthouses. Both cities share a scale that favours conversions over new build.

In Oregon the ranked hotels cluster in the West End and Old Town within walking distance of Powell's Books and the Pearl District's galleries, with the Willamette waterfront a few blocks east; in Maine the equivalent addresses are the West End's brick and clapboard streets, a short walk from the Old Port's wharves and restaurants.
Both cities peak from July to September, when Oregon's dry summer and Maine's coastal season align; Oregon's grey, wet stretch from November to March is much quieter, and Maine's winter is quieter still.

Each hotel is scored on a fixed formula built only from award facts, then shown on a scale of 5.00 to 10.00. MICHELIN Keys carry the most weight, a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating adds a flat six points, placements in The World's 50 Best Hotels for 2023, 2024 and 2025 are weighted equally, and a La Liste rating moves the total slightly. Nothing a hotel supplies about itself enters the score, and the full formula is published on the methodology page so any figure in the table can be reproduced from the awards beside it.
