Hotel Grand Stark is a boutique, pet-friendly hotel property sitting in Portland’s eclectic Central Eastside neighborhood. The hotel is tucked away outside the glitz and bustle of the central business district area mirrored across the Willamette River (still easily accessible to downtown landmarks) but is just as sophisticated of a spot to spend the night. This revamped, historic hotel is an elegant and independent space, with walkability to many of the East Side’s top attractions.
The four-story building dates to 1908 and was originally built as a hotel (Hotel Chamberlain) before pivoting to house a well-known local furniture manufacturer for nearly a century. Today, its exterior signage pays homage to the building’s storied past, with the sign showcasing inspiration from the original sign that marked the intersection for most of its history.

This “communal” feeling of welcoming carries throughout the property.
As you step into the spacious, gallery-inspired central lobby, you’ll be walking on shining, sturdy hardwood floors complemented by a background of white-washed walls and architectural elements like modernist archways and tall ceilings that make the room feel even larger and give the space extra dimension.
