The Golden West is an historic building in Portland, Oregon, United States. Located at the intersection of Broadway and Everett in northwest Portland's Pearl District, the structure is also known as the Broadmoor Hotel, Golden West Hotel, and New Golden West Building.[1] It was owned by William D. Allen, a Black man.

According to KOIN, the building is "one of the most important landmarks in Portland's Black history" and was "the center of Black life in Portland" during the early 1900s.[2] The city has nominated the structure for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places;[3] the listing was approved in February 2022.[4]
