Embassy
Suites Hotels, the Hilton
Worldwide brand of upscale, all-suite hotels, announced today the

official ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, February 5th.
The hotel is owned by Hillsboro Hotel Partners II, LLC, developed by
Thackeray Garn Company LLC out of Salt Lake City and is managed by
Western States Lodging and Management.
“We are excited about this opportunity to expand the Embassy Suites
portfolio in Portland,” said John Rogers, global head, Embassy Suites
Hotels. “Our brand's offering of approachable, upscale, contemporary
design and renowned customer service will make this property a desired
destination for business and leisure travelers.”
“Our hotel is one of only two hotels that have opened in our
fast-growing area in the last ten years,” said John Thackeray,
principal, Thackeray Garn Company LLC. “There is a tremendous need for a
full service hotel that offers ample meeting space along with modern
tech capabilities to accommodate guests to the area.”
Embassy Suites Portland/Hillsboro offers a flexible meeting and
conference space totaling 4,800 square feet spread across six meeting
rooms; three of which can be opened up to create a 3,000 square foot
ballroom. For smaller sized meetings, guests have the option of
selecting one of two board rooms, each able to host 14-16 people or one

Guests are able to dine during lunch and dinner in the restaurant and

the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Local wines from the Willamette
Valley and local microbrews are offered on the menu as well as specialty
cocktails. For added convenience, room service is also available. A
highlighted water feature and lush interior landscaping adds to a
