1. The Hoxton
From early morning to the wee hours, there’s plenty to do at this design-conscious hotel. Have breakfast in light industrial canteen-style dining rooms, hideaway in cosy lobbies with earthy furnishings and bare brick walls, listen to live music while gorging on bar bites at the Lovely Rita restaurant and sip cocktails into the evening on Chesterfield sofas in the speakeasy bar. When you find time to sleep, you can retire to rooms done out in a midcentury style with floor-to-ceiling windows, timber panelling, pink marble accents, art curated by Upfor Gallery and bespoke ceramics from Clay Factor.
Where is it? On W Burnside, The Hoxton is in the middle of Portland’s vibrant Old Town and within easy reach of the waterside.
Which room? Splash out on a ‘Roomy’ for huge windows and extra space.
Time Out tip: Be sure to book in for dinner at rooftop restaurant Tope. And if you’re on the go, you can order a quick-eat breakfast bag to your room.
