Portland is home to some of the best artisanal shopping, culinary adventures, and lush weirdness in the country. Which makes it easy to see why millions flock to the City of Roses on a yearly basis.
In an economic impact study published by the Tourism Oregon group, the demand for hotel and lodging alone in 2018 saw upwards of 15 million visitors, with overnight visitor volumes nearly cracking 30 million people.

To no surprise, Portland has some pretty outstanding places to stay. Here are our picks for the 5 most unique hotels in Portland.
The Heathman

There’s something to be said about staying within the theater district of an art-focused metropolis, and The Heathman is by far one of the best among the myriad of hotel options along Broadway. What the others don’t have is a sense of history. The beautifully kept interior takes one back to a classier time, and their library is filled to the brim with all sorts of books (both unique copies and author-autographed) to keep you in the lap of that luxury.
Address: 1001 SW Broadway, Portland

Hotel Zags Portland

Part hotel and part ideal that you can wake up and have true Portland in your back pocket, Hotel Zags is as much an Oregon experience as it is an accommodation option. From their classically simplistic and beautiful room designs to one of the best lobbies in the city, Zags captures something others just can’t (or won’t). If games and watching sports aren’t your thing, check out the hotel’s gear shed (cameras, skateboards, sports equipment) for your key to unlocking some fun around town.

The Nines

It’s not a lobby, it’s an experience, which is roughly the sentiment expressed by every single visitor to The Nines in downtown Portland. An open-ceiling courtyard set-up makes the lounge, bar, and sitting area in the common space within The Nines one for the ages. They (like many Portland hotels) are pet-friendly and accommodating, and The Nines also plays home to another stunning library.
