Condé Nast Traveler
January 2026

“Forty-two rooms, no two alike, in a brick warehouse that used to make textiles. The restaurant downstairs is reason enough to book.”

“Design Award: Best Hotel Renovation”
“Mira Olsen's renovation is the standard now. Every column kept, every window operable, every choice defensible.”
Portland Monthly
August 2025
“The Best Hotel in Portland”
“We tried to find something to complain about. We could not. The art rotation alone is worth a second visit.”
Dwell
May 2025
“Adaptive Reuse, Done Right”
“An object lesson in what to keep, what to replace, and what to leave alone. Olsen's restraint is the whole story.”

“Pacific Northwest Quarterly: City Hotels”

“36 Hours in Portland”
“Book a room at The Whittaker, in the Pearl District. Have dinner at The Linden, downstairs. Nightcap on The Roof, upstairs.”
