Where to Stay: Hotel Modera

There is a new hotel in downtown Portland that may be a good option for the wedding. The Hotel Modera opened this summer after a complete gutting and renovation. If you book early, you can get a rate of $139 per king sized room with your choice of a view of the cute courtyard or the city proper. By clicking on the special rates button, if you enter the code TZOO you can also get free parking (normally $27 a night). Although the location is a bit farther away from our reception than other hotels we have recommended, the Modera is still in the heart of downtown Portland. The streetcar is close by, which makes it a simple step to the reception! For more information, check out www.hotelmodera.com.
