Douglas fir is the best and would pass the building codes as well, but depending on the length of span it still would have to be at least a 3x12 or more. You may be able to actually put the beam up into the ceiling so it is not exposed at all, depending on the configuration. I have been in the carpentry trade for over 25 years...

If that is a load bearing wall, a 6 X 6 will not carry the weight. It depends on the length of the opening how much wood you need. You might be better off using an LVL laminated beam that is engineered to carry that weight. It could cost you a few dollars, but would save your house and you some headaches down the road. Check out the direction of the second floor floor-joists to see what direction they are going. If they go front to back, the same direction as your wall was, then your good to go.

Yea, I'm all over it. Thanks. By the way don't underestimate a good 6x6 Hemlock beam. You won't find much stronger..
