The Society Hotel

Built in 1881 and dubbed The Mariners Building, the structure originally housed sailors before becoming a hospital, and later a Chinese dance hall before finally becoming vacant in 1975. Local architecture firm Integrate Architecture led the restoration of the building, focusing on maintaining the cast-iron storefront, brick and stucco walls, and completely overhauling the interior.

The hotel offers 3 ways to experience their hotel depending on your budget and comfort level. All of our rooms come with plush beds, 10-foot windows, high-speed wifi, and a hospitality experience unlike any other.

The large 24-bed bunkrooms are designed for affordability, yet still offer ample privacy and comfort. Each bunk has a storage locker, charging station, reading light, and privacy curtain.

There are also 38 private rooms and suites. Private rooms and suites feature queen-sized bed options for a restful stay, include a sink and vanity, and a shared bathroom one might expect to find in a European boarding house. The private suites are a refuge for travellers and professionals who want a more traditional hotel room with king size bed, more space, more views, and the privacy of your own bath.

The beating heart of The Society Hotel is its lobby, where you will find the Society Cafe, a lounge, cafe, and bar, featuring fresh pastries, coffee and beer from some of Portland’s finest. There is also a rooftop deck complete with panoramic views of the city.
