The Sentinel is a hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States. It is composed of two buildings, both of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The east building was completed in 1909 and was originally the Seward Hotel, while the west building was completed in 1923 as the Elks Temple. The Seward Hotel was renamed the Governor Hotel in 1931. The two buildings were joined in 1992, and together they became an expanded Governor Hotel. In 2004, the hotel's entrance was moved to the west building, the former Elks Temple.

In the early 1990s, the hotel served as the filming location for several films: Portlander Gus Van Sant filmed a scene of My Own Private Idaho{{cite web | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210117181145/https://www.provenancehotels.com/sentinel-hotel/hotel/history | archive-date = January 17, 2021 | url-status = live

In 2003, the hotel was sold to Grand Heritage Hotel Group, who announced plans to close the lobby in the east building and make the west building's lobby, on 11th Avenue, the main entrance. At that time, the hotel had 100 rooms and suites, and 13 meeting rooms. The former 10th Avenue lobby area would be used for an expansion of Jake's Grill restaurant.
