[trip style = urban]
I don’t often write specifically about hotel stays and details—I reserve this for my Trip Advisor reviews—but my recent stint at the Ace Portland is worth talking about. It was like no other hotel I’ve stayed in. A breed of its own with an eclectic mix of old and new, vintage and minimal, organic and fabulous.
With a well known coffee shop and trendy restaurant just off the lobby, I could have sipped Stumptown‘s coffee and ate Clyde Common‘s deep-fried chick peas all weekend {not together}, but I was there to explore and no better way to do that than on foot.
The hipster-friendly Ace felt like it was in the centre of town, making walking to the shopping district, pearl district and old town really easy {more about my Portland explorations on Wednesday}. For now, let’s venture inward and look at some of the ways the Ace does hospitality a little differently:

10 Things I Love About The Ace Portland
- claw-foot tub/shower
- pet-friendliness
- original art painted onto the walls in the hotel and deluxe rooms
- Clyde Common, the coolest hotel resto/bar in the city
- Stumptown Coffee, just off the lobby
- brown make-up removal wash cloth
- large desk/work area in the room
- in-rom turntables {wish I tried, next time…}
- huge seating area in the deluxe rooms

- free wifi
Honorable Mention
