Fun Hotels In Portland Oregon

Downtown Portland, Oregon.


Finding a hip, one-of-a-king hotel is easy to do in Portland, where trendsetting locals prefer individual expressions of style and flavor. These fun locations have created their own atmosphere, filled with personalized color and art. Most are downtown, with plenty of nearby activities but limited parking. Plan on paying an additional parking fee at most hotels.


For Trendy


Described in the Lonely Planet guide as "Portland's trendiest place to sleep," the Ace Hotel's distinct vibe brings together comfort and style. Each room features decorations not typical of hotels. The lobby, which includes a photo booth, begs to be lounged in. Dine at Clyde Common, or get a cup of Joe at one of Portland's staples, a Stumptown coffeehouse.

For Entertainment


You don't have to look far for entertainment if you stay at the Kennedy School. Once an elementary school, the classrooms have been converted to well-appointed guest rooms while the website beckons you to "Fall asleep in class." The colorful Courtyard Restaurant has transformed the original cafeteria into a hearty dining experience. Round off your evening at the movie theater or soaking pool.

The Jupiter Hotel is as worldly as they come. According to its website, this "cultural boutique hotel" is for the "urban nomad." The rooms are crisp and modern, and there is even a LexiDog Metro room with an eco-friendly dog bed and complimentary dog toys. As a bonus, the hip venue Doug Fir is right next door.
