Travel | Portland Hotels

Looking for a place to stay in Portland?  I was just recently asked and thought I'd share my list of favorite hotels.  On and off the beaten track.  Perfect for the modern nomad.

Inn at Northrup Station 
TripAdvisor has ranked this hotel #3 on the Portland hotel list.  Great location, good value and the reviews are in praise.
Kimpton Monaco
TripAdvisor has this hotel ranked as #1, so it has to be included, right?  Fun, eclectic feel and the rooms were just recently renovated.  Good touristy location.
Heathman
How many couples have reenacted 50 Shades here?  Might want to bring your Lysol.  Kidding of course...one of the more expensive hotels on the list, but good location.  Wear your fancy pants.
Nines
The public areas at the Nines are some of my favorite.  Central location, fun vibe, make sure to check out Departure Lounge on a clear day.

Off the beaten track (in a good, Portland sort of way)
McMenamins Kennedy School
In Northeast (my hood), housed in an old elementary school.  Fun property, near Alberta Arts District.  Great food spots nearby that are less touristy (Beast, Cocotte, etc.).  They also have an old theater in the hotel with couches where you can order beer and pizza.  Movies are cheap ($3 - whaaa?).
Jupiter Hotel
Motor Inn turned hip boutique hotel.  Southeast has great restaurants.  Kind of a "party" scene, but who doesn't like to "party".
