Hotel Grand Stark Portland
This hotel has been hand-picked by the StayBoutique team and verified as an authentic boutique hotel
Located within Portland’s vibrant Central Eastside, Hotel Grand Stark embodies and evolves the independent spirit of the Pacific Northwest.
Within this carefully designed and reimagined historic hotel, we have found inspiration in DIY movements and imperfect beauty. Situated outside the glossier central business district, in both location and mindset, Hotel Grand Stark is more than “Keep Portland Weird” – we represent an elevated reflection of the creative movements and quirky spirit of Portland, and beyond.
Featuring 57 bespoke King, Queen, and Double-bedded guest rooms, a welcoming Lobby with a separate Study Hall, and Bar Chamberlain, the entire hotel has been created to pay homage to the neighborhood’s rich history and encourages communal and inclusive spaces for travelers and locals alike.
