Azul Hospitality Group, a premier hospitality management platform providing innovative approaches to maximizing an asset’s performance, announced today that the Woodlark Hotel has officially joined its distinguished portfolio of hospitality assets. Known for its blend of historic architecture and modern design, the Woodlark is an iconic asset that embraces Portland’s rich history while offering the contemporary amenities and style sought by today’s travelers.
Located at the crossroads of SW Alder and 9th Avenue, the Woodlark Hotel is in the heart of the city. It seamlessly integrates two historic Portland buildings: the Woodlark Building, constructed in 1912, and the Cornelius Hotel, built in 1908. This harmonious combination of historic charm and innovative design has earned the Woodlark the original Cornelius moniker of “House of Welcome,” reflecting the city’s inclusive and vibrant spirit.
“We are thrilled to expand our hospitality footprint into Portland as this market continues to grow,” said Alvaro Fraile, CEO of Azul Hospitality. “This is the type of asset we see as a significant opportunity to enhance value with our sophisticated management and marketing systems and deliver exceptional service to guests. The addition of this property fits our strategic vision to expand our management platform.”
Woodlark is home to three standout dining options:
- Bullard Tavern, offering an elevated take on rustic, wood-fired cooking.
- Abigail Hall, a cozy yet vibrant cocktail bar known for its refined drinks and small bites.
- Roseline Coffee, featuring artisanal coffee selections expertly brewed in the hotel’s lobby.
The 150-room property features 2100 square feet of meeting space spanning three separate event rooms, allowing for elevated corporate and life-cycle events.
The Woodlark will join the Marriott Bonvoy platform this Fall, allowing guests to enjoy the benefits of Marriott’s award-winning loyalty program, including access to exclusive rewards, discounts, and personalized experiences across Marriott’s global network of hotels.
