The Hilton Portland Downtown and Duniway Hotel are a pair of Hilton-brand hotels located in downtown Portland, Oregon. The original 22-story, 73 m tower was completed in 1962 and was named the Hilton Portland. The second tower with 20 floors, located kitty-corner from the original building, to the northeast, was completed in 2002 and was originally named the Hilton Executive Tower, until its renaming as The Duniway Hotel in 2017. The 1962 building was the tallest building in the city for three years until surpassed by the Harrison West Condominium Tower in 1965.
History
Contractors Andersen–Westfall built the original tower.[5] A region-wide strike by the Carpenters Union paused the project in April 1962 when union workers went on strike and picketed the construction site.[6] When the top full floor was finished in August 1962, the building became the tallest in Portland, overtaking the Public Service Building.[7]
