About

Portland is a special place. And we want our guests to experience all the fun, food, and culture the same way we, or any local, would. That’s why Kimpton Portland teamed up with Nella Media Group to create this seasonal multimedia that highlights the city’s most popular and under-the-radar spots, along with stories about the craftspeople that make Portland both a destination and a community. So go for two scoops at Salt and Straw (Insider tip: You can buy a pint and skip the line!), learn about surfing the Oregon Coast, drink great beer for a great cause, and do Portland like a Portlander. We’re thrilled to be your hosts and offer suggestions along the way. Here are a few to get you started:

“You cannot beat the entertainment possibilities in Portland! There is a constant opportunity to try a new restaurant, visit your favorite brewery, check out a festival, or see a concert at one of the many unique venues. The city always has something fun to offer you.”

– Travis Williams, General Manager at Kimpton Hotel Monaco Portland

“You have to take advantage of Willamette River! You can book an afternoon cruise through our friends at Electric Boat Company, or just take a stroll down to Poet’s Beach for easy swimming and paddle boarding access into September.”

-Whitney Brown, General Manager at Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel

“Definitely check out wine country during your time in Portland. It’s less than an hour away and you can sample so many varietals (beyond our famous pinot noirs) within the Willamette Valley in just one afternoon. Or there are plenty of urban wineries if you want stick to city limits!”

-Noni Hughes, General Manager at Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland
