Top Hotels Near Oregon Convention Center
Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center
9 Rating (519 Reviews)
0.1 miles from Oregon Convention Center
375 NE Holladay St, Portland, OR 97232
Walk out of the exhibit halls and cross the street to check in: the Hyatt Regency sits steps from the OCC's main entrance, connected to the Convention Center MAX station on the same block. Six hundred rooms, a full restaurant and coffee shop, and 38,000 square feet of in-house meeting space make it the logical base for anyone running a multi-day conference schedule.
Hotel Eastlund, BW Premier Collection
8.8 Rating (2,278 Reviews)
0.2 miles from Oregon Convention Center
1021 NE Grand Avenue, Portland, OR 97232
Hotel Eastlund earns its place not just through proximity (four minutes on foot from the OCC entrance) but through the rooftop Metropolitan Tavern, which handles post-session client dinners with city views and a private dining setup that larger convention hotels can't replicate. The pillowtop beds and well-reviewed service give it a boutique feel that the convention block's larger properties rarely match.
Courtyard Portland Downtown/Convention Center
8.4 Rating (899 Reviews)
0.3 miles from Oregon Convention Center
435 NE Wasco Street, Portland, OR 97232
Marriott Bonvoy points accumulate here against a 10-minute walk that works as a reliable daily commute without a rideshare. BLVD Kitchen & Bar handles breakfast and dinner on-site, which matters when convention catering runs dry, and the 5,118 square feet of in-house meeting space is useful for pre-session breakouts with a smaller team that doesn't need the full OCC footprint.
KEX Portland
8.7 Rating (404 Reviews)
0.3 miles from Oregon Convention Center
100 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, OR 97232
Twenty-six rooms, a sauna, and an independent identity that operates on a different frequency from the convention-district chain model: KEX occupies a distinctive stretch of NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd that shows in its room quality and in-house energy. Pacific Standard, the restaurant and bar, runs a creative menu worth returning to after a day of catered lunches, and the on-site sauna provides a recovery option that no other hotel within this distance radius offers.
Crowne Plaza Portland Downtown Convention Center by IHG
8.3 Rating (1,722 Reviews)
0.4 miles from Oregon Convention Center
1441 NE 2nd Avenue, Portland, OR 97232
When two days of standing on convention-center concrete demands a recovery plan, the Crowne Plaza's indoor pool and hot tub earn their keep. IHG One Rewards points accrue across 241 full-service rooms, and the airport shuttle (available for a surcharge) is a practical option when your flight is early enough to skip the MAX Red Line.
Jupiter Hotel
7.8 Rating (621 Reviews)
0.5 miles from Oregon Convention Center
800 E Burnside St, Portland, OR 97214
A block off Burnside in Portland's creative core, Jupiter Hotel is the choice for OCC attendees who want their stay to feel like the city rather than the convention district. Hey Love, the on-site restaurant and bar, is worth staying in for, and the 81 individually designed rooms make the 0.5-mile walk from the OCC a worthwhile trade for a more Portland experience.
Jupiter NEXT
8.5 Rating (279 Reviews)
0.5 miles from Oregon Convention Center
910 E Burnside, Portland, OR 97214
Jupiter NEXT opened as the more business-ready sibling next door: pillowtop beds, 67 rooms with premium bedding, and 5,920 square feet of meeting space suited to small-team off-sites alongside a convention stay. The fireplace lobby and quiet aesthetic give it a different character than its neighbor, while still sharing Hey Love for dining, a practical two-option setup when both properties fill up during larger shows.
The Society Hotel
8.2 Rating (914 Reviews)
0.6 miles from Oregon Convention Center
203 Northwest 3rd Avenue, Portland, OR 97209
An Old Town address and 914 reviews at 8.2 on Booking.com signal a property that has built a genuine reputation well outside the Lloyd District convention cluster. The rooftop terrace and bar make the 0.6-mile walk from the OCC worthwhile for attendees who want a reset in Portland's most historic neighborhood, away from the hotel-dense blocks around the venue.
Hotel Grand Stark
8.3 Rating (456 Reviews)
0.7 miles from Oregon Convention Center
509 Southeast Grand Avenue, Portland, OR 97214
Choose Hotel Grand Stark when the priority is a 4-star property with individual room character in Southeast Portland's creative district rather than a convention-adjacent address. Fifty-seven individually decorated rooms with rainfall showers and minibars, plus a bar and restaurant that serves the neighborhood as much as the hotel, make it the farthest pick on this list that still justifies its place.
