Powell's City of Books
A full city block of new and used books. Get lost on purpose — it's the point.
Forty-two rooms. One neighborhood. No rush.
The building was a textile warehouse in 1924. We kept the steel, the timber columns, and the way the windows hold the late light. The Pearl District was rougher then. We tried not to polish it out.
Today it's a forty-two-room hotel where no two rooms are identical, the lobby works as a gallery, and the restaurant downstairs is one locals actually eat at.
Compact and considered. North-facing windows, a queen bed in raw linen, and a writing desk that catches the morning light.
Every room includes high-speed wifi, Malin+Goetz bath products, a Tivoli radio, and local coffee on arrival.
A Pacific Northwest seasonal menu, an open kitchen, ingredients from farms inside a hundred miles. Chef Marisol Kerr cooks the way she eats at home — restrained, exact, generous with butter.
It's not hotel dining. It's a restaurant that happens to be in the building. Locals outnumber guests most nights.
Seasonal cocktails, Pacific Northwest wines, a short list of small plates from the kitchen downstairs. Open to the public. The view is the Columbia on clear nights and the West Hills always.

1,200 acres of old-growth forest and 80 miles of trail. Borrow one of our bikes.
A classical Suzhou garden in the middle of Old Town. Order tea upstairs.
The line is worth it. Trust us on the pear and blue cheese. Then the honey lavender.
Monthly gallery openings across the Pearl. We'll mark up your map at the desk.
Two hours on the river. Not subtle. Bring a windbreaker and don't wear nice shoes.
"We changed our return flight to stay an extra night. The room had a record player and a window that actually opened. I can't go back to chain hotels."
