The Best Hotels for Getting Around Without a Car in Portland
There are some cities where getting around without a car is pretty near impossible. Portland is not one of those cities. With its excellent public transportation system and reputation as one of the most bike-friendly cities in the nation, Portland is a city you can easily navigate without a vehicle.
But some hotels make it easier to enjoy Portland sans vehicle than others - and if you’re not planning on traveling Portland by car, they’re definitely the hotels you’ll want to shortlist for your trip. Here are the five best hotels in Portland if you want to visit the city without bringing a car.
Orenco Hotel
Why it made the list
If you’re in the ‘burbs on a business trip, the last thing you want to have to do is drive around looking for a place to eat or hang out. But at Orenco Hotel, you don’t have to. This property is located in Orenco Station, the urban hub of Hillsboro (home to many of the Portland area’s top employers, including Nike, Intel, and Yahoo) where you can walk to literally everything you might need your stay, including restaurants, shops, and a weekly farmer’s market.
Inn @ Northrup Station
Why it made the list
Portland has plenty of public transportation that will take you all over the city, including the Portland Streetcar. And when you stay at the Inn and Northrup Station, all you have to do to access it is literally walk out the door - there’s a Streetcar stop directly in front of the hotel.
Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland
Why it made the list
Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland pays homage to Portland’s bike culture with a lobby art installation of repurposed bike parts. But they take it a step further in integrating bicycling into their hotel culture by offering free bike rentals to guests of the hotel. All you have to do is ask at the front desk.
