Its interiors follow the glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age, with Art Deco details.
Seminars and company events
The Editing Room and the Green Room are the smaller meeting rooms, suited to board meetings and working groups.

It includes room rental for an 8-hour day, in-house audiovisual equipment, Wi-Fi, pens and pads, power strips, one flipchart with markers, a breakfast, a morning snack, a lunch buffet and an afternoon snack, with beverage service all day. Menu selections and dietary requirements are due 14 business days before the event. Meeting offers tied to the number of room nights booked are also published for group business.
Weddings and receptions
Hotel deLuxe presents itself as a wedding venue in Portland, with an Art Deco setting for the ceremony and reception. The sales team plans the event with the couple, and the executive chef at Gracie's prepares a personalized menu built around Pacific Northwest cuisine.

Catering
Food and beverage come from the hotel. Gracie's serves brunch, afternoon tea and dinner, and the executive chef leads the kitchen. Catering menus can be built for meetings, receptions and weddings. The Driftwood Room, a cocktail lounge serving drinks since 1954, adds a bar setting for guests staying at the hotel.
