Jupiter HotelsAsymmetrical design tower
The asymmetrical tower rethinks the indie motel concept, trading retro nostalgia for sharp concrete architecture and a lively late-night lounge.
“the imposing black-asphalt-shingled box cuts a stylishly asymmetrical figure across the inner east side skyline, inside the airy, industrial lobby.”
What it’s good at

Guestrooms display Portland photo collages by Beth Kerschen and woven Pacific Northwest throws.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Its height affords it unparalleled views of the city, especially in its west-facing rooms, and its modern construction allows for generous floor plans and rooms that are as luxurious as they are stylish.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Central Eastside's dining scene sits right outside, with Le Pigeon and Nong's Khao Man Gai a five-minute walk away.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows look toward downtown, and bathrooms are enclosed in frosted glass cubes with vanities set outside.
Bar
Hey Love
Pothos and ivy drape from the ceiling above rattan lamps. Bartenders pour highballs and serve comfort food late into the night.
How it began
A run-down burger joint and car lot once stood here, across the street from the owners' original 2004 motor lodge.
