The Arista Ballroom is located on Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland, OR..


Hawthorne Bridge
Portland's Hawthorne Bridge is one of the world's oldest lift bridges.

In 1995, we began a massive-reconstruction of the interior of the property. The project was completed within that year and now our guests can enjoy the grandjeur of pre-war architecture along with all of the modern amenities.
