The Spotlight on Hotel Grand Stark

Chic, Artsy Vibes Just Minutes from Portland's Music Scene


Hotel Grand Stark is a stylish, boutique 4-star stay in the heart of Portland’s vibrant Eastside, just a short walk from major venues like the Moda Center and Oregon Convention Center. With its curated décor, local touches, and welcoming atmosphere, this hotel blends comfort with a creative city vibe.

Expect free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, concierge services, and a cozy on-site bar and restaurant. Rooms come with modern amenities including a fridge, perfect for stashing drinks or late-night bites. Private parking is also available for a fee.

Why Concert-goers love it

Hotel Grand Stark puts you within walking distance of major music venues, so you can skip the stress of post-show traffic. It's well connected to public transit and just 6.2 miles from Portland International Airport, making late-night travel easy. With 24-hour front desk service and luggage storage, it’s great for flexible arrivals and departures. Despite the central location, guests report peaceful, quiet rooms—ideal for winding down after a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish base close to nightlife
  • Solo travelers catching a dream gig
  • Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert
  • Fans who value quiet recovery after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want boutique comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features an on-site restaurant and bar perfect for pre-show bites or post-show nightcaps. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the front desk can assist with local late-night dining options. Plus, you're surrounded by walkable eateries in every direction, and breakfast is served on-site—great after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its Eastside location puts you near Portland’s best bars, lounges, and clubs. Whether you're into chill craft cocktail spots or buzzy dance floors, you’ll find great vibes within walking distance. The hotel bar is also a favorite for guests wanting a low-key drink with local flavor.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean, thoughtfully designed rooms, the friendly staff, and the hotel’s location close to everything. Many appreciate the artsy, unique feel of the space and say it’s a hidden gem for those wanting something less corporate and more Portland.

Areas for Improvement

The biggest downside? Parking isn’t free and can be a bit pricey. Also, while the restaurant is great, it does close relatively early, so you may need to venture out for late-night eats.

The Bottom Line

Hotel Grand Stark is a stylish, well-located option for concert-goers who want boutique charm, peaceful nights, and easy access to Portland’s top venues.

Bummer

Liked: Oooof. The bed was comfortable. The front desk was kind but did not have a lot of authority to make decisions. The guy at the bar was kind.
Disliked: Well... we weren't able to get into our room until 630pm, and check in was listed as 3pm. Rooms were not clean and they had to turn us away.. offering either a full cancellation refund or $20 off mini bar snacks (no alcohol). We had no other place to go...i had a minor with me and evening plans in walking distance from hotel, so we could not cancel. I requested a room with natural light. We were given an interior room with little to no natural light. Our room had blood droplets on the floor, so I complained. They graciously gave us a new roo, but I felt guilty as they said they were taking this room from someone els, but wou l d "figure it out". The new room was still interior facing but slightly larger with 2 beds wish l which ultimately was better for my son and I. I appreciate the upgrade. My son went to the bathroom and locked himself inside, had to call front desk for a flathead screw driver to get him out. They left the screw driver with us as this is not uncommon. Early morning noise... lots of slamming of doors. The bed was lovely so able to deal. Check out at 11... they were unable to give me a receipt upon checkout. Receipt came later in the day at 430pm. I have stayed here several times. While convenient, seems like there is an issue every time.
