Sentinel Hotel

The Sentinel is a hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States.

It is composed of two buildings, both of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

[citation needed] In 2003, the hotel was sold to Grand Heritage Hotel Group, who announced plans to close the lobby in the east building and make the west building's lobby, on 11th Avenue, the main entrance.

[4] The company invested $6 million in renovations, and renamed the hotel the Sentinel on March 14, 2014.

[5] The name is a reference to the robot-like[6] stone sentinel sculptures along the roofline of the east building (the former Seward Hotel).
