The Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland is an upscale boutique property that reopened in 2015 after a multimillion dollar revamp resulting in fresh, hip interiors and a theme based on local wines. The downtown location puts most of the city's attractions within easy walking distance, including the waterfront and Pioneer Square. The 117 rooms are also chic and stylish, almost all with differing layouts, and some feature hot tub terraces. However, past guests have complained of street noise in lower-level rooms and many views are drab. The on-site Italian eatery is excellent, and a free nightly wine tasting is a real draw, though rates are generally on the high side. For a comparatively stylish but more affordable option (albeit with smaller rooms) check out the Hotel Lucia next door.

A chic, highly Instagram-able boutique property, the upscale Hi-Lo Hotel, Autograph Collection opened its doors in 2017. Housed inside Portland's historic Oregon Pioneer Building in the downtown area, the property combines industrial elements like rutted concrete walls with softly hued, mid-century-inspired decor. That contemporary, minimalist aesthetic continues into its 120 rooms and suites done up in on-trend furnishings, plus 49-inch flat-screen LED smart TVs, heated tile floors, coffeemakers with free coffee and tea, and 24-hour pillow menus. Hotel features are as well-considered as the decor: There are meeting/event spaces, an all-day lobby bar, a tiny lobby shop selling local goods, and a modern Mexican restaurant that focuses on Oaxacan flavors. By comparison, Ace Hotel Portland offers a better downtown location and slightly lower average rates, but its bathrooms are small, with external sinks, and some rooms share bathrooms.

The 136-room Hyatt Place Portland Airport/Cascade Station is one of the newer places to stay near Portland International Airport. This mid-range business property is located in a development that looks like an upscale strip mall. It's a short walk to restaurants, shopping, and public transportation but is a bit far from Portland's most popular attractions. Rooms are spacious and have living/work areas with sofa beds, but bathrooms are small. A free hot breakfast is included in the room rate, and there's also a pool that's long enough for laps, a 24-hour fitness center, a small business center with computer stations, and meeting rooms. Travelers might also want to check out the nearby Radisson, another mid-range property with similar facilities and rates.

The Kimpton Hotel Monaco Portland is a top-notch hotel in Downtown Portland. Sure, some will find certain freebies a bit off-beat -- namely, the evening cocktail hour set up with brushes, canvases, and easels for guests to paint with; or the offer of a free companion goldfish for your room -- but this artsy hotel is decidedly upscale. Rooms are large, with bright, whimsical decor; local art is showcased on each floor; and Red Star Tavern hosts a popular happy hour.

Set along the Willamette River in Downtown Portland, the three-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Rose (known to locals as "The Rose") offers sass, character, and a dog-friendly vibe. Compared to common spaces, its 139 guest rooms feel a little bland, but they're comfy, with memory foam mattresses, ergonomic desk chairs, and walk-in rainfall showers, not to mention flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, and mini-fridges. Traffic noise and parking lot views are the primary complaints. Bottle + Kitchen offers creative dishes and drinks in a rustic-chic atmosphere, and the hotel also has a gym, but it's small. Free cruiser bikes are available to borrow, and there's free afternoon cupcakes, but fees for parking, breakfast, and amenities are tacked on the bill. For a dash more luxury, consider the often competitively priced Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland.

Hotel Modera is an attractive, upscale hotel in downtown Portland. It doesn't have a stuffy feel that some iconic hotels do: Instead, everything feels modern and casual, from the streamlined lobby -- with local art, funky furniture, and a marble-and-wood front desk -- to the 174 rooms, updated with iPod docks, Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. The Modera bills itself as a boutique, and even though it's not as small as some boutique hotels, it does have that vibe -- and it lacks the amenities of a large hotel. There is no spa or fitness center (although free passes to a nearby gym are available), but there is a tasty on-site restaurant with a renowned local chef. It's not as centrally located as other downtown hotels, but it's convenient for those visiting Portland State University.

The Inn at Northrup Station, located in the Northwest district, is an all-suites boutique known for its bright, quirky 70s-style decor. The lobby features a hot pink, studded front desk lit by funky lamps, and the breakfast area is a scramble of bright, striped furniture.

An attractive rooftop terrace is full of colorful furniture. Freebies such as weekly Wednesday wine tastings and streetcar tickets add value, but there are some complaints about thin walls and street noise, and free parking can be limited.

The upscale Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel offers an attractive alternative to staying downtown. Located a 15-minute walk from the heart of downtown, the hotel occupies a scenic spot on the Willamette River. Restaurants and shops are nearby, but it’s quieter than downtown’s busy street. The 84-room hotel has a lodge-like ambiance that's rather adult with some fashionable flourishes. Highlights include a restaurant/bar and free wine reception, loaner bicycles, and passes to a nearby gym. But, Wi-Fi is free only to Kimpton loyalty program members, and the hotel charges a daily facility fee. Rooms are spacious and stylish, with room service, minibars, and safes. Many feature lovely river views. Rates and amenities are comparable with its sister property, the upscale Hotel Monaco – a Kimpton Hotel, though its location is more central to downtown.
