Hotels that Capture the Quirkiness of Portland

September 6, 2018 - Hotels - by Devyn Woolsey

When you decide to go to Portland on vacation, you expect something a bit different and unusual. While searching for hotels for your next big city getaway, the last thing you may want is an ordinary, run-of-the-mill room with bland decor. You want accommodations that offer the luxury and world-class service of a boutique hotel while highlighting the one-of-a-kind spirit the city of Portland is known for.  

After all, Portland has a fun, creative, and quirky energy, so it’s only natural to expect the same from the hotel you choose to stay in. Fortunately, many Portland hotels pride themselves on exemplifying the city's unique reputation. With Dunhill Travel Deals, finding great rates on some of these Portland hotspots is easy. 

McMenamins Kennedy School

If the thought of going back to class gives you anxiety think again—a stay at the McMenamins Kennedy School Hotel is anything but stressful. In a building that once housed an elementary school, this Portland hotel runs with the vintage academic theme featuring literary references and a retro boarding-school style. Great amenities, including a saltwater pool and an earth-friendly, on-site brew pub, add to the fun.

McMenamins Crystal

Another McMenamins hotel further proves that the local chain knows how to offer accommodations with a distinctive sense of style. In this case, the theme is the local music scene, with each room’s decor celebrating an artist who has played at the famed Crystal Ballroom located across the street. This is where you'll want to stay if you’re ready to live it up like a rock star.

The Clyde Hotel Portaln by Kasa Living

Like other Ace locations, this stylish Portland hotel gives a locally-minded touch to the chain’s established reputation for excellent service and luxurious digs. Located within proximity to many of Portland's unique boutiques, craft breweries, and Powell's City of Books, the world's largest independent bookstore.

Jupiter Hotel

Situated in the trendy Burnside area, Jupiter Hotel more than acquaints visitors with the city’s artsy status—by hosting a reception for local artists and artisans every month, this Portland hotel allows its guests to mingle with and enjoy the work of other like-minded creatives. Beyond that, you’ll find a party-friendly atmosphere and retro-chic decor.

Hotel Deluxe

If the McMenamins Crystal makes guests feel like rock stars, the Hotel deLuxe makes you feel like a movie star. The design is heavy on mid-century flavor, harkening to Hollywood’s golden age, with every floor dedicated to a different icon of the era. A great place to sip an afternoon tea while brainstorming ideas for your next screenplay.
