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.

Perfect spot for events near...

Liked: I stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding that was in the Buckman area. My room was 402. It was an excellent room! Very spacious with separate areas for toilet + shower, and then sink/vanity/space to get ready by lots of windows for natural light! The mini fridge was high-end, as were a lot of the touches in the room. Loved the think blanket on the bed. Although this is a historic (aka older) building, I did not hear anyone in the rooms next to me the entire stay! The lobby is especially fancy and welcoming, with 2 restaurant options for dinner. There's a dive bar slash diner next door called My Father's Place where I went for breakfast and it was SO good! The portions were generous for food and drinks. This hotel is really nice and I enjoyed my stay - I would go back.
Disliked: When I checked in, the front desk staff didn't give me the wifi information, so I had to make a call to get it. There also wasn't an iron or ironing board in my room (and I needed this to iron my dress for the wedding). After I requested, the staff found me a mini ironing board and iron, which I picked up from the front desk. On the day of the wedding, granted I didn't leave for the day until noon, but when I returned at 9:30 p.m. my room had not been made up. It was not a huge deal since I was leaving the next morning, but there was no signage indicating rooms would not be made up daily, and I did not have the "do not disturb" sign on my door for 9+ hours that day. While the hotel itself is very nice, the surrounding area is not. There were many transient people loitering around the premises, many who have me strange looks and/or followed me as I walked down the street. I've heard this is to be expected in Portland, but I was a bit surprised by this. I made sure to take cabs back straight to the front door after dark.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Unfortunately would not recommend.

Liked: The lobby is very nice! They have two onsite restaurants which are nice for convivence. There are additional restaurants in the neighborhood as well as local shops to visit.
Disliked: The area has a lot of homeless people. Some may not feel comfortable walking the neighborhood. The hotel windows are not double pane - the night noise is excessive. There is a bar a couple of doors away and the noise between 12pm and 2am was excessively loud. Loud music, cars and people - almost impossible to sleep during these hours. Our room was not properly cleaned. The room had a big clump of hair in the shower drain; the floors had not been swept and had dirt. The coffee pods were not replaced. The front desk was helpful and sent cleaning staff back into the room to properly clean.
