PORTLAND’S BOOMER CASTLE ON BROADWAY

You don’t have to go to France to feel the grandeur of a beautiful room.

Or a cathedral in Spain for the ornate.

Walk into the Benson Hotel on Broadway for the same feeling of WOW.

The size is different, but the details are wonderful.

For an Old World taste in the New World, this is the place.

The rules are simple:

• No fighting.

Boomers love to take a stance, but keep it under control.

• No swinging on the curtains.

The Benson Hotel in Portland, Oregon is an adult place. Act accordingly.

If you wonder why you need your room card to get the elevator past the lower floors, here’s why:

The elevators are close to an outside door, which is where you’ll be headed if you don’t stop climbing the curtains.

Be polite like our French brother and sisters. Be friendly like Spain and England.

Or you’ll be gone.

In the meantime, enjoy.
