Fodor's Expert Review Ace Hotel

The quintessential Portland hipster lodging, this flagship location of the buzzy Ace Hotels brand contains a Stumptown Coffee café as well as the very good Clyde Common restaurant and Pépé Le Moko bar, is a block from Powell's Books and the Pearl District, and is right in the heart of Downtown's ever-trendy West End neighborhood. The minimalist-chic rooms are outfitted with comfortable, futon-style mattresses, locally made furniture, flat-screen TVs, and original wall murals—some have vintage accessories like turntables and vintage vinyl collections; others have iPod docks. Some rooms have private bath/showers, the less expensive rooms share. The cool common areas have large comfy couches and well-stocked bookshelves.
