My wife and I got married a few blocks away and our venue didn't have a location to get ready, so we were looking for a hotel close-by that could serve that purpose. Harlow Hotel popped up when I was searching, since it looked like the rooms had good natural light for hair and make-up and the art deco aesthetic matched the theme of our wedding. We are SO glad we found this spot, they added so much joy to our wedding weekend and we cannot recommend them enough!

We booked the two executive suites as our getting ready space and set up a hotel block for our guests, then their team mentioned that they had a space where we could host a rehearsal dinner if needed. We decided to go that route since we were getting ready there anyways, but Noemi and Armando went above and beyond to make the whole weekend special. We were able to arrange custom cocktails for our party, created by one of the hotel bartenders (I don't remember her name but we're so grateful to her). Each of our guests staying at the Harlow got a little menu with those custom cocktails, such a cute touch and a fun keepsake from the wedding. Our guests all commented on how lovely the whole team was, they worked their tails off and did it with a smile! A very sweet and genuine crew and we absolutely adore them. The hotel also had their back patio decorated and available to us (it wasn't available when we first looked at the hotel), and it was so beautiful that we decided to do our first look out there. When we left at the end of the weekend, Noemi gifted us a Christmas ornament on behalf of the Harlow to commemorate the event.

I don't think I even scratched the surface of everything they did for us but suffice it to say they far exceeded our expectations. Planning a wedding is stressful but they made things as fun as possible, while offering creative touches that we never would have thought of! We would highly recommend them as an event space, a place to get ready for your wedding, or just a spot to stay downtown. Such a lovely little slice of Portland and we're so happy we found the Harlow Hotel!

The staff was great! Front staff were so helpful and accommodating. House keeping does an excellent job. Everything was immaculate. The water bottles in the room are complimentary. A elegant northwest historical hotel with modern amenities. Staff is bilingual which very helpful. I felt so comfortable relaxing in the lounge. I melted in the chairs because they were so comfortable. Relax and order evening cocktail and there’s plenty of room to dance the night away. The only thing I would adjust would be to add colored lighting in the evening/nights so when you’re in the lounge you’re not on display to the people outside at night.
