The Hotel deLuxe is a hotel located in southwest Portland, Oregon, in the Goose Hollow neighborhood. Built in 1912, the hotel was commissioned by Rufus Mallory, a Portland lawyer and politician.[2] and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (as the Mallory Hotel).[3] It was sold in 2004, renovated, and reopened as the Hotel deLuxe in 2006.[4]

In 2004, Jemiah Jefferson—who "set a section of one of [her] novels there"—called the hotel "one of the last magical places in [Portland], so precious and evocative of a better-dressed time of sloe-gin fizzes, slingbacks and Benny Goodman, where the bartenders are good-looking, heavy-pouring charmers and mystery seems to lurk in the brilliant reflections of the mirrored walls.
