Completed 1906

Hotel Albion, established in 1906, is a former hotel and historic building in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. It is best known for housing Lotus Café, which has occupied the ground floor since 1924.[1][2]

Designs for a 10-story office building that is proposed to be constructed on the site were approved by the Portland Design Commission, a city-appointed advisory panel, in early July 2016.[3] The plans call for demolition of the Hotel Albion, and Ankrom Moisan Architects submitted a demolition permit to the city in mid-July 2016.[3] The Auditorium and Music Hall, which is directly adjacent to the former hotel, is not proposed for demolition.[3]
