Portland, Oregon has both travel critics and serious shopaholics abuzz. The rapidly growing Pacific Northwest hot spot is overflowing with fair-trade coffee houses, quirky boutiques, a bustling local scene, and an eco-friendly lightrail to help you see it all.
Travel & Leisure even rated Portland as
one of America's Favorite Cities this year, praising its cleanliness, safety, and environmental awareness. The
Jupiter Hotel, located in the heart of Portland's Downtown, epitomizes the city's free-spirited attitude with a 1960's retro meets cabin-in-the-woods style decor with a rock n' roll edge. That's right, this hip boutique hotel's own courtyard turns into nightclub come sun down - red carpet included! After adventurous days exploring the city, grab some grub at the Jupiter's on-site restaurant, the
Doug Fir Lounge - it's known for its buffalo burgers, omelets, and staying open "until way past your bedtime." Best of all, this trendy new hotel rocks a very budget-friendly pricetag. So whether you come for the chalkboard doors or because
Conde Nast Traveler branded it "one of the best new hotels in the world," next time that you
