Fodor's Expert Review Kimpton Hotel Monaco Portland

This artsy Downtown Portland outpost of the Kimpton-operated Monaco boutique-hotel brand offers eclectic textiles and patterns, bright spaces and bold colors, interesting amenities like in-room yoga mats, extensive pet-welcoming items, and an evening social hour with local wines, spirits, and beers, and the overall sense that staying here is a lot of fun. In these roomy accommodations (the majority of them suites), birds in flight paper the ivory-colored guest-room walls, auburn hexagons carpet the floor, and multicolored tartan decorates the headboard.
