The Hoxton, Portland
Expert reviews
“From London-based Hoxton hoteliers comes this US outpost, right inside the Chinatown Gateway. An airy, Northwestern modernist aesthetic – clean lines, natural materials and mid-century accents – features throughout expansive communal areas and the 119 rooms, ranging in usual Hoxton sizes.”
“The Hoxton group has opened up in the hipster hot spot that is Portland, Oregon, to winning effect. Expect plenty of stylish communal areas for co-working and playing, and the group’s signature approach to living like a local while away. The Mexican restaurant and rooftop bar are both worth a visit in their own rights.”

All you need to know
While the term “hipster” may stir up debates, it’s undeniable that Shoreditch, the London neighborhood housing the original Hoxton hotel, shares some similarities with Portland, the heartland of non-mainstream culture in the Pacific Northwest.
The Hoxton, Portland, situated marginally beyond the Chinatown Gateway, adapts its traditional post-industrial style to fit a century-old edifice. However, it’s not a mere imitation of the London version.
Instead, the Hoxton group’s internal design team drew their creative ideas from the Northwest modernist movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
The rooms in this location stick to the brand’s straightforward naming convention, escalating from Shoebox and Snug to Cosy and Roomy. This honest approach sets up guests for a pleasant shock at how chic and sophisticated the rooms are, featuring dark wood decor and large, warehouse-like windows.
Additional luxury elements like Roberts radios, unique pieces of art, and comfortable beds further enhance the overall experience.

The hotel. The style. The staff.
The homeless tent city.

nice hotel, probably would stay again
the lobby and restaurant area is very stylishly decorated, and feels cozy. the bathroom in our room was beautiful and the body products and soaps all smell incredible.
our room was super teeny tiny which we knew, but didn’t really realize how small it would be until we went into it. i would stay in a bigger room next time but not sure it would be worth the higher price.

Cozy, warm feel, excellent staff!
We loved the feel of this place. The staff was excellent, decor was cozy and warm. The only thing I would note is how tiny the room was. We didn’t necessarily mind but it was a bit of a shock. Other than that, we loved it.

staff of desk valet and restaurant were exceptional
OUR ROOM WAS NOT CLEANED! We put the notice on the door and were out for 6 hours. Really wanted a clean room.

Really fun place to stay with good restaurants close by
The aesthetic is fun, retro and clean, which was nice… also, the free water and milk in room is fun and much appreciated! Check in was easy and staff incredibly nice!
Can’t think of anything!

Lovely hotel which could be amazing with someone very minor improvements.
The Hoxton is a gorgeous hotel, the staff were very friendly and the lobby/bar were lovely. My room was small, which is what I booked so I didn’t mind that, but it wasn’t very accessible and I would have preferred if the cups, kettle etc were kept on a shelf higher up rather than down on floor level. I personally just found this difficult to access due to mobility issues. Also more options for breakfast bah would be great! Mine didn’t arrive, but when I called down for it the staff brought me one immediately. The service was great but when I opened the bag it only had an apple in it.
Stylish with friendly staff, easy to get to, dog friendly.

Very enjoyable- lovely meal.
We didn’t stay for breakfast-had to leave very early. The parking garage was a mystery. The valet told me it was on a specific side of the block but I could not find it! Or anywhere on the block. Very strange. I ended up just parking in the municipal parking lot nearby.

The hotel is comfortable, cozy decor, young and friendly staff, and great Mexican food on the roof.
Breakfast was very good. As was a fabulous dinner at Tope. Our room was nice and fairly quiet, with an extremely comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful, whether at the front desk, lobby bar or restaurant. I got the impression that everyone really enjoys working there. We have stayed at the Hoxton in downtown LA, which we also really enjoyed.
It seemed from the info that Lovely Rita was a full service restaurant and we were surprised that it is no longer open. The coffee bar was fine but one of our two mornings, it was closed for 20 minutes during prime coffee needing time. Also, (not the hotel's fault) the area doesn't feel safe for walking at night. I hadn't been to Portland for a couple of years and was unprepared for how much downtown has changed. Also, they need some streaming channels on the TV.

Good place and will stay again!
Amazing location and super chic lobby. Rooms were clean and comfortable although very small, no microwave but it did have a fridge so I won’t complain too much. The bathrooms are small but adequate, and the showers are amazing.
No complaints.

Lovely hotel with brilliant staff
Very friendly and helpful staff. The bar/ lounge area is spacious and well appointed. The room was small but comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. Lovely shower! Great location to venture into different areas of the city.

Great experience: great people and great location.
It was very nice, decorations were alternative.
I think it’s great for solo travelers, but I wouldn’t go with my family.

Very good
Great hotel, not the best location, some homeless and junkies outside unfortunately, but that whole area of Portland is like this now. They’ve got security out front and super friendly staff, stylish amenities, we had a great time there.

Excellent experience and stay in Portland. The $30 destination charge had no real value.
Staff Comfortable Staff Room design
The $30 destination charge is a deceptive tax and make the Booking.com value less a real value. I’m not sure what I got for my $30

Staff are super nice and helpful.
I like the Hoxton group. I’ve stayed here and in London. The staff are always spot on and good natured.

We enjoyed our stay but really hope things will improve for the homeless community in the city
The hotel is beautifully designed and staff very very friendly and helpful.
Sadly ( and this isn’t any fault of the hotel) the homelessness situation Downtown is just so upsetting and the hotel is situated in a particularly bad area. It felt quite dangerous to go out with the children particularly at night. It was very disturbing to see how desperate the situation has got and we were encouraged to see that the hotel were running a few things to support homelessness. We really hope that the owners of the Hoxton hotel group try to push the local government / councillors to urge some immediate action to help these poor people. We had heard that Portland and many American cities had a big problem but to see it first hand was very distressing.

Pleasant
The ambience and the décor were exception. The lobby bartender made the best cocktails.
I wish that reservations made at the restaurant and speakeasy bar around the corner were listed on the hotel reservation when you check in. I made dinner reservations, then cocktail reservations, not realizing one cancelled out the other. If it was listed at check-in the person at the front desk would've noticed that I didn't have a dinner reservation for Tope. It could've been rectified then rather than wait 3 hours to go upstairs and be told I didn't have a reservation. Also, if you make reservations at both places they shouldn't cancel out. I wanted to make sure we got a seat for after dinner cocktails.

Great hotel in not such a great location.
The hotel was great. Great room size, beds were comfortable, coffee shop on site, as well as coffee and tea offered in room. Most of the staff was excellent and helpful as well.
The first night the staff was not very happy, nor helpful. Also, driving to the hotel, we realized the location was not safe at night. There was another family that was thinking of leaving for the same reason, that evening. We knew that Portland had some issues, but this was shocking and did not feel like a place I wanted to stay. We considered leaving and taking a loss for our entire stay.
