Gay friendly hotels in Portland
Portland’s LGBTQ+ scene is characteristically spread around the city, although the historic Burnside Triangle around Old Town remains a useful base for several gay bars and clubs. Staying Downtown keeps this area, the waterfront and central attractions close by, while Portland’s eastside neighbourhoods offer more of the independent food, drink and creative scene the city is known for. GayMapper’s recommended gay-friendly hotels range from quirky local stays to smarter downtown properties, with options for travellers who value location, character or simply a very comfortable bed.

Tours & Experiences in Portland
Portland is proudly independent and just a little unconventional. Visit Pittock Mansion, explore its neighbourhoods and breweries or head to Multnomah Falls, then return to town for great food, cocktails and the sort of laid-back evening that suits Portland perfectly.
Portland Gay Scene
Portland has a multitude of gay venues for you to explore, all offering something a little bit different. The city has a prominent feminist and lesbian scene, which is focussed on the Hawthorne District with its trendy bars and coffee shops. Meanwhile the Burnside Triangle has always been a hangout spot for local queer people of all identities and is the home of LGBTQ+ nightlife that caters to everyone. As you explore the city you can catch a drag show, grab a craft cocktail, or simply dance the night away in one of the many clubs.
