Portland is on the forefront of green living, but in this day and age it is important to know the aroma in your room in the City of Roses is natural. While there are a number of hotels that have achieved silver certifications from Green Seal, an environmental standards organization, for energy efficiency, recycling, composting and purchasing locally, only a handful of hotels offer fragrance-free rooms.
