Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Old Town / Chinatown
The London boutique chain's US flagship brought its genuine-neighborhood-hotel formula to Portland's Old Town — with a lobby designed as a public living room, four distinct restaurants (including Tope for Mexican, and Lovely Rita for a rooftop), and 119 rooms at prices that compete with Portland's best Airbnbs for value.
Old Town / Chinatown
Portland's most communal lodging experience — a converted 1881 sailor's boarding house in Old Town with a rooftop deck sauna, co-working lounge, and accommodation ranging from hostel bunks to private rooms with original brick walls. The mix of budget and boutique options under one historic roof is quintessentially Portland.
South Waterfront
Portland's most atmospheric waterfront property — a European-style boutique marina hotel on the Willamette River at the southern end of the Esplanade, with kayak and paddleboard rentals at the dock, a cozy fireplace lobby, and private balcony rooms overlooking the river. The nightly complimentary wine hour and morning coffee service add genuine warmth.
Downtown
Portland's most art-forward boutique hotel — a downtown property with a 900-piece photography collection curated by the Oregonian's former photo director, including Vietnam War and rock photography alongside Pacific Northwest landscapes. The 127 rooms are moody, refined, and stocked with local goods from Powell's Books to Stumptown Coffee.
Downtown
The flagship that launched the global Ace Hotel phenomenon — a converted 1912 labor union building where surplus US Army wool blankets still cover the beds and Stumptown Coffee (which Ace helped popularize nationally) brews downstairs. Deliberately unpretentious in a city that values authenticity above all, the Ace Portland remains a pilgrimage for design-conscious travelers.
Lloyd District / Lloyd Center
Portland's most underrated hotel — a stylish property adjacent to the Oregon Convention Center with a skyline-view rooftop lounge (Altabira City Tavern), bright Pacific Northwest-themed rooms, and prices 25-35% below comparable downtown options. The MAX light rail at the door connects it to downtown in 8 minutes.
