Nearby Activities

Shopping at the Jantzen Beach SuperCenter — Guests will enjoy tax free shopping at over 51 stores and restaurants including Target, Old Navy, Barnes & Noble, and Burlington Coat Factory as well as numerous independent shops offering local flavor. The mall also houses the famous 1921 C.W. Parker Carousel which embodies the history of the Jantzen Beach Amusement Park.

Eating out — If you want to venture beyond the hotel restaurants, walking is an option! Because the Red Lion Hotel is located on Hayden Island, yes, an actual island, there is a one mile loop that circles the area and connects a variety of restaurants including Chang's Mongolian Grill, Stanford's, Newport Bay, and Damon's Sports Bar. Those who want to venture out in the car can experience Joe's Crab Shack, Beaches and Who Song and Larry's all located just on the opposite bank of the Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington.

Peaceful wanderings - Hayden Island also has walking trails near the river, offering a serene escape from the normal city dwellings. Stroll by the marinas, visit the nearby park, or just stand along the waterside for a healthy rejuvenation between meetings. The hotel offers a true "resort within the city" by offering the spaciousness of a resort with the convenience of being in the city-downtown is only a ten minute drive!

Fore! Many golf courses are within a short distance from the hotel. They include Heron Lakes, Broadmoor, and Colewood. For the avid golfer, no trip to Portland would be complete without visiting Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course or The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Course, two courses famous for hosting professional events.
