By far, the city’s most famous staple is Jake’s Famous Crawfish, operating several locations downtown. Dishing up the best—and freshest—seafood in the city, any meal at Jake’s should not be missed. For a more worldly taste, look no further than Pho Van’s in the Pearl District, offering traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Also be sure to check out Pazzo Ristorante featuring a wood-burning pizza oven and an exhibition kitchen and Pazzoria Bakery & Café. For traditional American cuisine, try Red Star Tavern and Roast House.
Offering lodging options at all different budgets, Portland’s hotels, suites, and bed and breakfasts are perfect for any getaway. For travelers looking to splurge on luxury accommodations, look no further than the historic Benson Hotel or check out the 5th Avenue Suites. A unique twist on the traditional hotel is the McMenamins Kennedy School, a bed and breakfast in a converted schoolhouse. Some hot spots in Portland are Hotel Lucia, Clyde Hotel Downtown, and the swanky RiverPlace Hotel. These digs are much more than your typical accommodations. Consider the Hotel Vintage Plaza for traditional European charm or pure style at the Hotel Mallory.
Portland is an excellent place for a variety of unique and traditional spa treatments to refresh and replenish the body and the mind. Look to the Ruby Violet Skin Body & Spirit Spa for the total sanctuary, the DragonTree for pure Eastern delights, or the fabulous Bliss Salon & Day Spa for a complete recharge. The Rejuvenation Day Spa promises particularly posh hot stone therapy, whereas Bellini’s European Day Spa for a more traditional take on spa offerings.
The City of Roses is sure to leave you smelling sweeter than ever! With tons of sights and attractions, there is something for every visitor in this great Pacific Northwest city.
Coyle Hospitality Group has invested years of experience into the development of an extensive mystery shopping database of Portland evaluators. Our evaluators are not professional secret shoppers; they are businessmen and women who already frequent hotels and restaurants for business and leisure; our people are already your guests in Portland.
Portland restaurateurs and hoteliers appreciate the benefits of a quality mystery shopping program. They know that it costs many times more to attract a new customer than to retain a satisfied customer. They know that bad word of mouth spreads much faster than good references can accumulate new guests. Becoming aware of the secret shoppers perspective brings new light and opportunity to even the most experienced hospitality concern.
CHG is glad to work with hospitality clients new and returning to design questionnaires for secret shoppers to gauge their experience. These questionnaires help measure the performance of your staff who will never know that they were audited by way of methodical mystery shopping.
