Best for the eco-conscious
KEX
Bringing the Iceland-based brand’s ethos to Portland, Kex will have keen upcyclers oohing and aahing in awe. The herringbone floor of Nordic-style restaurant Dóttir is made from reclaimed wood, while the overhead lights were salvaged from an old Belgian cinema. Spaces are styled with a quirky but classy mix of knick-knacks. Don’t miss the rooftop bar, surrounded by the modern high-rises of Central Eastside, a neighbourhood that feels as youthful and stylish as the hotel itself.
ROOMS: From $152 (£110). kexhotels.com
