There is nothing notable about this hotel and it fails the following requirement per WP:NBUILD: "Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments, may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability."

- Disclaimer: Stub creator. This one's easy. Strong and speedy keep. Just go to Google News and search "Hyatt Regency Portland", you'll see sufficient secondary coverage. I've shared some on the article's talk page. You seem to have nominated a whole series of properties indiscriminately. Next time please complete enough research before submitting deletion nominations. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:06, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete This is a generic Hyatt which barely opened, notwithstanding its financing. To the above, I don't feel like this meets WP:INDISCRIMINATE in the least (and the talkpage sourcing is basically the convention center being built rather than the hotel), and I thank the nom for finally tackling this generic metro business hotel cruft.

- Talk page sources are about the hotel specifically, not the convention center. They go as far back as 2012 as this specific property has been in the news for years, often related to public funding. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:51, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Leaning towards Keep. There's extensive coverage for this convention center hotel even before it was built as part of the Lloyd District Development Strategy in the early 00s, and even farther back as part of the Oregon Convention Center/MAX Light Rail station plans in the late 80s. In terms of the city's planning history, it's not your generic Hyatt. --truflip99 (talk) 21:04, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Meets our notability guidelines with SIGCOV. The hotel has 600 rooms and RS - the hotel is notable. I added a few sources Lightburst (talk) 17:45, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Public financing issues make this a matter of public concern. Reliable sources exist, article is being expanded/improved. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 17:17, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Meets WP:SIGCOV and similar to various other notable hotels in major US cities. Has enough history of its own to be a notable historical hotel. Ambrosiawater (talk) 05:33, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - while Hyatt hotels are not inherently notable, the sourcing does show just enough for WP:GNG Spiderone 13:56, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
