Adventure Woman says one of the best walking cities/areas in the USA is downtown Portland, Oregon, and the Benson Hotel is the Grand Dame of the locale.
You can walk from your hotel to great shopping, fabulous eats and wonderful entertainment. The Benson Hotel is a historic downtown landmark with a great restaurant and upscale bar area. During the holiday season they feature an enormous and beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The foyer is decorated as well, and will get even 'scrooge' into the holiday spirit.
Take a leisurely stroll to Pioneer Square for some pre-holiday shopping or check out Nordstroms - an Oregon classic. Nike was founded in Oregon and so was Columbia. As a consequence, you'll find both stores within striking distance.
For a truly great time head to Powell's - arguably the best, if not the biggest bookstore. The floors of books will leave any bibliophile dumbfounded and utterly engrossed for hours. A book makes a timeless and thoughtful present for anyone at any age.
