The Most Walkable Hotels in Portland
Having to drive around a city you’re not super familiar with can be a total drag. But Portland is an extremely walkable city - and if you choose the right hotel, you can easily get away with going the entire trip without ever traveling on four wheels.
Committed to exploring the city sans vehicle? Here are the five most walkable hotels in Portland.
Orenco Hotel
Why it made the list
Located in nearby Hillsboro (home to many of Portland’s big employers, including Yahoo! And Intel), Orenco Hotel is a great option for business travelers who want the walkability usually reserved for downtown. Located in Orenco Station, the urban city center of Hillsboro, the hotel is just steps away from some of the city’s best restaurants and shopping.
RiverPlace Hotel
Why it made the list
Sometimes you want to walk around in the city. Sometimes you want to have a more natural, serene walk. At Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel, you can have both. Located just steps from the Willamette River, Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel has easy access to the walking trails of Tom McCall Waterfront Park, which is great for a quiet walk on the water, or just a few minutes from the center of downtown, where you can enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. In terms of walkability, it’s the best of both worlds.
Evermore Guesthouse
Why it made the list
Some of the best eating in the city is in Southeast Portland on Division St. And Evermore Guesthouse puts you just a block away. Just minutes from “restaurant row,” this hotel puts you within walking distance of Portland staples like Ava Gene’s Salt & Straw, and Bollywood Theater.
Hotel Monaco
Why it made the list
There are plenty of hotels in downtown Portland, but the most walkable? Kimpton Hotel Monaco. Located just a short walk from shopping at Pioneer Place, dining (either at one of the areas many restaurants or at the Alder St. Food Cart Pod), a movie theater, bars (including hotspots like Multnomah Whiskey Library), cultural attractions… there’s literally no reason to drive anywhere.
Portland International Guesthouse
Why it made the list
Portland International Guesthouse, which is Portland’s answer to the communal style living of European hostels, is in one of the most walkable locations in the city. Located in the Nob Hill neighborhood and just a block away from NW 23rd (home to plenty of restaurants, shops, and entertainment), there’s no need to bring a car.
