The Hoxton Portland

The Hoxton Portland

Downstairs at The Hoxton Portland, past the lobby and through an unmarked door, 2NW5 opens most nights as a walk-in speakeasy, no booking required, the kind of detail few downtown Portland hotels bother with. Built in 2018 as part of the Accor-owned Hoxton group, this 119-room hotel sits in the city center, three minutes on foot from Roseland Theater and eight from Pioneer Courthouse Square, with Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade and the U.S. Bank Building close by. Rooms run to 129 square feet, air-conditioned, with memory foam beds, down comforters, mini bars, rainfall showerheads and free Wi-Fi; light sleepers who need square footage to spare will find the layout tight rather than generous. Downstairs, Tope serves as one of two on-site restaurants, there's a coffee shop for the morning rush, and three bars carry the evening, including that basement room. To-go breakfast runs 7 to 11am for a fee of 10 to 20 dollars, and there's no complimentary spread, so guests who expect breakfast folded into the rate should look elsewhere. Parking isn't on site either; nearby lots charge around 32 dollars a day, which suits car-free city breaks better than road trips. Pets are welcome, the property carries a Green Key Global Eco-Rating, and four meeting rooms make it workable for small business gatherings alongside leisure stays. Staff speak English and Spanish, and wheelchair access extends to the restaurant. What this hotel offers isn't quiet or space, it's a downtown address with a design hotel's attention to detail and a bar scene most guests didn't know existed until they found the door. The Hoxton Portland hides 2NW5, a walk-in basement speakeasy, below its 119 rooms in the city center. Expect memory foam beds, two restaurants, three bars, and separate fees for breakfast and parking. It suits downtown wanderers and pet owners more than road-trippers wanting free parking.
