We’ve stayed in hotels downtown, and Airbnbs east of the Willamette River, which runs right through the middle of Portland and separates downtown Portland from the more residential parts on the east side.īoth are great in their own respects, and you’ll find some of the best places to stay in Portland scattered throughout both areas even though they each have a completely different feel. Since then, we’ve been to Portland no less than five times, including living there for just over a month to see if Alysha, a born and bred Californian, could make it through a Pacific Northwest winter (turns out, she can!). I was intrigued by the mix of Seattle vibes and the grittier undertones that have made Portland special, especially as I’ve found that Seattle has started to soften around the edges and lose some of its “weirdness.” We stopped along the way for a day in Portland, hitting all the Portland hotspots like Voodoo Donuts (this was before my Celiac diagnosis and before learning that Blue Star Donuts is actually the best around) and Powell’s Books.

But I didn’t actually make it to Portland for the first time until a summer during high school when my older brother and I took a road trip from Seattle down to the Bay Area. I grew up in Seattle, and Portland was always just a few hours South on I-5. This guide to Portland’s best places to stay is SUPER detailed, and took us a long time to compile, so we hope it helps you find the perfect place to stay in Portland, whatever your style and budget are. Obviously, we recognize that you might value something different than us, so we’re going through Portland’s best areas to stay and giving you the pros and cons, the neighborhood highlights and things you shouldn’t miss, and the best places to stay in each neighborhood.
