Sapphire Hotel

The Best Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes in Portland’s Hawthorne District | Eater Portland

"Housed in the former lobby of an early 20th-century hotel and brothel, Sapphire Hotel sits near the base of Mt. Tabor, slightly removed from the bustle of Hawthorne’s main drag. A great place for an intimate date, visitors can enjoy creative cocktails like the Witchy Vibes — with vodka, Pisco, crème de violette, balsamic, egg white, and lavender black salt — alongside dishes like salmon cakes with onion aioli or salsa verde-topped roasted bone marrow with grilled bread. This spot doesn’t take reservations and offers happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. nightly." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
