For a ticket to the epicenter of Portland's indie-rock scene, head to the burgeoning east side and the Jupiter Hotel. The 80-room converted motel's small but comfortable rooms have been recast in an appealing cheap-chic modern aesthetic. But the accommodations are essentially just backup for the main attraction: the Doug Fir Lounge, the Jupiter's bilevel bar, eatery, and rock venue. In the upstairs restaurant, walls of shale, faux fur, and Douglas fir logs provide a sleek backdrop for spot-on pub classics and best-avoided attempts at haute cuisine. For that postprandial booty shake, the music scene downstairs defines Portland's cutting edge.
When to go: June, when the rain abates and the city's gardens shine.
Which room to book: The lounge draws a steady swarm of foot traffic, so request a room at the opposite end of the property
