Best Hotels with Rooftop Bars & Pools in Portland (2026)

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.

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.
