“The quaint, understated design of the hotel is reminiscent of the Ace—and actually replaced Portland's Ace in a rebrand without too many major changes or renovations.”
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Over the course of more than a hundred years the Clyde Hotel has been a fixture on Portland’s hospitality scene, and much of its original history is still on display.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The shops of Union Way sit directly across the street, and Powell's City of Books is just over Burnside.
The rooms
Platform beds and pipe-metal fixtures furnish the bedrooms, and many share bathrooms down the hall.
At the table
Water Avenue Coffee sits down a ramp off the lobby, serving espresso drinks and baked goods.
How it began
The 1912 building originally served streetcar travelers before spending nearly two decades as the Ace Hotel.
