Tips for Lodging in Portland
- Design-minded visitors should check out (or check-in to) Portland’s two stylish boutique-hotel brands and their artsy-chic properties downtown: Hotel deLuxe, Hotel Lucia, and Sentinel Hotel (Provenance Hotels), and Hotel Monaco, RiverPlace Hotel, and Hotel Vintage Plaza (Kimpton Hotels).
- Make yourself at home at the Lion and the Rose Victorian B&B, a 1906 Queen Anne–style mansion that contains some of the most romantic and sumptuous rooms in town.
- Experience the funky, eclectic flair of the McMenamins Kennedy School, a renovated elementary school where guests can run in hallways, sleep in late in former classrooms, and hang out at the Honors Bar or the Detention Bar.
- Consider the Nob Hill neighborhood if you want to be accessible to central attractions via public transit, near lively restaurants and shopping, but a bit removed from the noise and bustle of the downtown core.
- Check out some of the East Side’s hippest neighborhoods by choosing a B&B; the Evermore Guesthouse, Everett Street Guesthouse, Clinton Street Guesthouse, and Caravan–The Tiny House Hotel are all great bets.
