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.
