For those of you who have not yet seen our sister hotel, the gorgeous Grand Hotel at Bridgeport in Tigard Oregon , just outside of Portland, OR, we encourage you to plan a trip in that direction soon! The hotel has been open for less than a year and has already starred in the brand new Washington County, Oregon Visitor Association promotional video that integrates interactive technology in the video itself. Check it out!
Guests Enjoyed the Grand Opening Earlier this Month.
Members of the Phoenix Grand Hotel staff attended The Grand Hotel Bridgeport “Grand Opening Celebration” earlier this month that included delicious appetizers prepared by Bentley’s Grill, sushi, a hotel tour and a ribbon cutting ceremony. If you are planning to visit the Portland area in the future- we encourage you to stop by and see this beautiful hotel for yourself while taking in a day of tax free shopping at the Bridgeport Village shopping district.
General Manager Josh Sanders and his amazing staff have done a fine job putting the finishing touches on the new hotel, rolling out the red carpet and welcoming guests from all over the area visiting the Portland area. One guest was so impressed she left the following comments on The Grand Hotel Bridgeport’s blog:

My husband & I returned home last evening from a wonderful two night stay at your new hotel. We were with our daughters, who stayed five nights. Your hotel is not only beautiful, it is cozy and clean. We found the staff to be incredibly helpful, friendly and professional. When I say “staff”, that applies to all we had contact with from desk, managers, housekeepers etc. The location is great too!
