    Here at the Escape Lounge at PDX. As you enter staff checks you in then you take the elevator upstairs. Buffet area had pulled pork, corn, pasta, potatoes and more. Coffee making machines were both full. Staff walking by ask him for assistance. He went to clear out both coffee makers. Just pick the coffee you want and hit the button. Bar area was life of the party. There were private sleeping rooms too. Chocolate chip cookies were yummy. Soft and chewy.

    The Escape Lounge is located in Concourse D of PDX, between gates 8-10. It recently won the Lounge of the year in Global category. It was a fantastic lounge with beautiful modern interior and gorgeous lighting. The wooden tree panels were aesthetic, the bar was huge and all the sitting space were wonderfully designed. The staff members were active and kept the place really tidy and clean. When we came here, it wasn't too busy. The check-in process was easy at the front desk. Since we came late in the evening, there were dinner dishes served. There were options for salad, cheese, vegetables, rice, pita, and couple of protein dishes. There were snack, cookies, fruits and cereals available as well. For drinks they had sodas, hot drinks and alcohol. Some of the dishes I tried tasted decent to me. Overall it was a nice break time for us before taking the 5 hours long flight.

    This lounge is located nearby D8-D10. It was quite crowded when I came, which was expected since it's a Priority Pass lounge so a lot of credit card holders can access it. There's lots of single private chairs and group tables available while the view is of the airport tarmac or PDX interior. The food today was a selection of: Tomato bisque, pulled pork, baked beans, turkey sandwich, pasta, roasted potatoes, and a salad bar. There's also a coffee machine, juice selection, and bartender for drinks. Great lounge to wait and relax before your flight.

    This is one of the better lounges that I have been to. It is in Concourse D at PDX, between gates D8 and D 10., . I got in with my Priority Pass, you can also get in with certain premium credit cards, or you can pay for access, and the price is very reasonable for what you get. It's a beautiful space. Lots of room, comfortable, and plenty of USB ports and plugs to charge your gear. They also have at least one private working room, where you can get your business done if you need to. For planespotters, on one end of the lounge, you have a good view of the ramp and gates, on the other end of the lounge, you have a nice view of the runway, with an absolutely gorgeous view of Mount Hood. The food was overall , very good. Several hot choices including soup, they also had premade sandwiches, make your own sandwiches, salads, desserts, etc.... My absolute favorite was the pulled pork. A Tangy BBQ sauce, and the pork was just so tender... I thought the pasta was OK, nothing spectacular, the vegetarian beans were very good, I couldn't taste the difference, and the "spicy potatoes" had just a little bit of a "kick" to them . I didn't try the little corn in the cob "nubs", because I just don't care for them There is also a full bar available. The lounge also has showers on a first come first serve basis. The shower is handicapped accessible, with a handheld showerhead, and a "bath bench". The shower rooms are very clean, and it is an absolutely fantastic way to freshen up before, after, or even between your flights. I felt like a new man. I was just as ugly as before, but at least I felt refreshed... :). Thank you for a fantastic way to relax before my flight.

    Surprisingly large, and uncrowded at the Portland airport, the Escape Lounge provided a complementary place to eat/drink while we waited for our flight back to Los Angeles. I wasn't expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised by the food, drink, and especially the friendly and helpful employees of the lounge. My wife, her mom, and I came to the Escape lounge in Concourse D on a Saturday, and were greeted by a super friendly and chipper attendant who checked us in. There are many ways to gain entry, two of which I had privileges: via Priority Pass (provided by Chase Sapphire Reserve) and via American Express access (provided by the AMEX Delta Reserve if flying on a Delta flight). Unlike the nearby Delta Skyclub, one can enter even if on a Delta Basic ticket. It was easier using Priority Pass since those come with 2 additional guests, but did confirm that if there are capacity constraints, the AMEX guests would get priority. Once approved, an elevator (or stairs) must be taken up to enter the lounge. Once you enter, there are complementary lockers to store your stuff. The middle of the room has a small wooden rotunda, mimicking the style of the wooden ceiling at the airport. There is a small buffet with non-traditional choices (this day it was Indian, with butter chicken and naan, and other choices like sandwiches). A nice waiter came around to ask if I wanted a drink (I obliged with a local pils), and kept coming back to refill as I finished. The beer was very good, confirming how good the local beer here is in Portland. The bathrooms are nice but small, with full coverage stalls. Some people were asking about the sleeping rooms, and were told that it's first come/first serve. As I was leaving, I noticed how relaxed I was, before heading to board the plane. It definitely had a lot to do with the niceness of the employees at the airport, especially the folks at the Escape lounge.

    Amazing lounge in PDX - at the end of D Gates. I got in with my Priority Pass. Beautiful, and the food is outstanding. Lots of seating (not full during the week when I was there). There are complimentary lockers and showers in the bathrooms. Views on almost all sides. Well worth it.

    I really like this lounge. One of the nicer Escape lounge's I've been too. Super clean. Staff are super friendly. I had a late flight out & the night I was here they had a really yummy butter chickpea zucchini & pesto pasta salad. They have 2 beds as well but both were occupied when I was here. I had a few gin & tonics which really helped me sleep on the plane. It also won Priority Pass Lounge of the year for 2026!

    You can freakin' sleep here!

    First of all: you can fucking sleep here. Second of all: you can fucking sleep here! This is unlike any Alaska Airlines lounge or most any other airline or credit card lounge, for that matter. In fact, this lounge is single-handedly the only reason I renewed one of my credit cards with an outrageous annual fee. Not only can you sleep here though, the service and food are also better. When I walked in I was handed a mimosa and told about the quiet rooms (with beds). And when I went to check one out, they asked me if I needed help getting the bed setup! I had an amazing HOUR of sleep here when my flight was delayed. I just hope this place doesn't become overcrowded like every other airport lounge. I will definitely be back!

    Lunch buffet: vegetarian butter chickpeas, roasted zucchini, naan, and rice

    Quite a nice lounge! Priority pass access available (as of 05/2026). Seemed that they had an all day hot food buffet. When I went (about 3pm-5pm on a weekday) the options were fantastic and I was able to load a plate even with vegetarian options. They had very nice espresso machine operating. The bartenders were very kind and helpful, though I was sticking to ginger ale they had many great options available. Would return to this lounge if I'm back in PDX!

    If you're coming to kill time while getting fantastic customer service and drinks, then this is your place!!! They have great cocktails and staff- Luis was a gem!! He was super attentive and had such a great personality to connect with. Now If you're coming for an actual meal, don't. Eat elsewhere, PDX has significantly better food choices. The buffet isn't the worst, it's clean and taken care of... but the flavor and items are really strange in my opinion. Not my preferred flavor profile. Overall, best place to chill before a flight!!

    The Escape Lounge inside Portland International Airport (PDX) is a great spot to chill if you're early for your flight. I tend to arrive early for all my travels to avoid stress TSA line (or just traffic to a new airport, in general). This is very nice when there's a lot of lounges tied to airlines. The Escape Lounge has an checkin process so don't lets the lady at the "concierge desk" fool you. She will direct you to scan QR code displayed at the entrance. Once you app check in, the app uses a helpful queue system that alerts you when it's your turn to enter. The lounge is located on the 2nd floor and once enter there are small lockers to stow personal items. There are plenty of seats but I saw a lot of folks hanging by the bar (additional fee for alcohols)! Ha! I went straight to the "hot bar" -- pasta, roasted potatoes, etc. It's well-stocked with chips + snacks and fruit is perfect if your flight falls between meal times. The food is replenished quickly and the bathrooms are clean.

    We always love coming to the lounge before our flight, food is always available and open bar. Chocolate chip cookies during dinner hour are 10/10!

    Hazy ipa complimentary

    Give me a like if you find these reviews useful. :) Priority Pass from credit card. Luckily wasn't too busy and was able to enter quickly. They have a small selection of hot foods, nothing to rave about. Bar had draft beer, cocktails and wines included. I had a HAZY IPA which was great. I also saw some local breweries available like Great Notion. They also have a COAVA COFFEE machine. Self serve. The espresso was strong and had lots of crema so that was impressive! Cookies, glazed donuts, variety of chips and a tomato soup this visit. There was a salad that was loaded with squash and cheese. The lounge is in Concourse D, between gates D8 and D10.

    Nice lounge tucked away and accessed by elevator or stairs to the left…read more This was my 1st at this Delta Sky Club as I normally go to the Escape. I really liked my experience here for a few reasons. It is less busy so quieter. 3 areas of seating with lots of outlets. There is an business area if you need to print something or work on your laptop. I like the extra touches on the food and drink options. I like that they had a lot of fresh fruit (the other lounge usually runs out so disappointment for my kiddos), vegetarian sausage for the hot breakfast line up, and my favorite chia seed pudding as well as oatmeal, cereals, hard boiled eggs, cheeses and wide selection of baked goods. They had fresh fruit and mint for the lemonade, various Rishi tea options and candied ginger to upgrade your tumeric ginger tea. The decor is not as modern compared to all the renovated areas of PDX as mentioned by another review. However I would definitely come back if I am travelling with Delta. Thank you to the morning crew of this lounge for making my early morning flight experience a great one.

In short, both drinks should have been complimentary but when stating that fact and the supporting reason, Susie motioned to her forehead and said she couldn't read that on my spouse's forehead. She said that rather loudly and twice. I told her that he had stated the facts twice prior to ordering when she told us to move from one side of the bar to where she would prepare our drinks. If anyone were to watch a video of the bar area at that specific time, they'd see Susie's hand motions waving over her forward as she told my spouse that she couldn't read that on his forehead.... They'd see our expressions as well. We usually tip when ordering at the bar but my spouse, rightfully so, put the cash back into his wallet. We spent the remaining 30 minutes watching her facial expressions, or lack thereof, with other customers. We felt uncomfortable with this specific individual, hopefully training is provided to avoid any similar attitudes towards other guests. Please note, others working were welcoming and kind.

The atmosphere is modern and the rooms are reasonably spacious, though a little small for bathroom space. The views of the city are also pretty cool, depending on which side you're on. Our room had a great evening skyline view. A note with this property is their "fridges". They have a "beverage chiller" in the spot where a fridge would go in a regular hotel situation, however it only somewhat cools. When we called, they mentioned this isn't a real fridge and we could pay $45 to get a fridge that keeps things cold. If you didn't look closely, it's hard to notice the difference and any food you have in this beverage chiller would spoil. Once I called and heard about the fee, it felt like a tactic to add charges. Based on this, I wouldn't stay here again both because of the lack of convenience of not having a fridge in this level of hotel and not wanting to pay $45 to have access to this. That part is a shame because the rest of the hotel is clean and modern and the location on the east side is great!

Enter that number and the * and boom you are in. The place has an interesting feel to it. Lots of reflective mirror. Kinda art deco kinda modern. There is a lounge in the back with svelte velvety seats and some definitely art deco wall decor. I like the fake plants too. Pro tip: if you come during the daytime, you can see the planes too and it's especially beautiful during the golden hour. They have an extensive drink menu with cocktails, winess, and beers. Even a NA Atheletic beer. It's very easy to strike a conversation with a stranger and learn about where they are going or how they found out about the speakeasy. Bonus, the bartender wants to know how you found out too. But beware, this speakeasy has limited hours and days. Monday- Friday 4 pm - 8 pm.
