Jupiter Hotel
Portland, United States[view map]
- Style
- Mid-modern motel
- Setting
- Portland pitstop
A classic roadside motel built around one of Portland’s premier live music venues, Jupiter Hotel embodies vintage Americana. It also happens to be the best place in town to catch the next big thing emerging from Portland’s musical hothouse. Although the rooms may be more cool and casual than lavish luxe, you can stay for the encores and party with the band without having to worry about stumbling home.

Food & drink
- Hotel restaurant
- Cosy red leather booths give a Fifties diner feel to the Doug Fir Lounge, but there’s no greasy spoon menu here – it is all fresh, local and served in mountainous portions. Classic, carby staples such as banana and hazelnut pancakes, grandma’s meatloaf and mac-n-cheese are served along with bottomless Stumptown (a local roaster) coffee all day. There’s also a late-night menu of alcohol-absorbing munchies available until 2.15am.
- Dress code
- Your favourite hipster jeans and battered Converse All-Stars.
- Top table
- The restaurant doesn’t take bookings but if you can, snag yourself a table on Burnside so you can watch the world go by from the enormous windows. Alternatively swing on your swivel chair at the bar slurping a ‘five-dollar milkshake’.
- Last orders
- The chef hangs up his apron at midnight and the bar closes at 2am.
- Room service
- The full restaurant menu is available from 7am to 11pm.
- Hotel bar
- The decor of the Doug Fir Bar is an improbable meeting of space age and cowboy. Futuristic dome shapes are made out of chunky logs and bathed in softly glowing light. Sample the Cowboy Coffee cocktail – a mix of Kahlúa, Tuaca and Frangelico that will keep you going even after the band have gone to bed.
Also worth knowing
- Children
- Although kids are welcome, Jupiter Hotel has grown-up gig-goers in mind.
