"Jupiter NEXT, the six-floor, 67-room LoBu sister hotel to the nearby Jupiter Hotel, aims for edgy style with luxurious details like glass-cube bathrooms, in-room cocktail bars, and digital concierges. Driving east from downtown, you can’t miss it; designed by Portland-based Works Progress Architecture, the imposing black-asphalt-shingled box cuts a stylishly asymmetrical figure across the inner east side skyline. Inside the airy, industrial lobby, an open concrete-and-steel staircase by local metal fabricator Laura Sol of Sol Creations connects the first and second floors, while a low-slung concrete fire pit welcomes wind- and rain-chilled visitors. This short stretch of Burnside is one of the hippest and happening neighborhoods in town, so why not stay in the middle of it all?" - Jen Stevenson
