"An artily refurbished 1908 property in the Central Eastside district, the hotel’s light-filled lobby has a charming retro quality with wood floors, arches, and works by local artists. Stepping out onto busy Southeast Grand Avenue reveals a mix of old factories and a car wash alongside trendy bars and restaurants, a vintage furniture store, Victorian houses, and a microbrewery, underscoring the neighborhood’s industrial-turned-eclectic character." - Tony Perrottet Tony Perrottet Tony Perrottet is a historian and journalist based in New York City.

"Portland’s newest hotel watering hole, Bar Chamberlain opened in the fall of 2021, following Hotel Grand Stark’s launch earlier in the year; the hotel was part of a years-long, multi-million dollar restoration by LA-based hospitality group Palisociety. Bar Chamberlain is understated and sleek, with art on the walls and a plush lounge atmosphere bathed in twilight-glowing neon. The concise cocktail menu (in particular the Tuition Money, made with mezcal and Cel-Ray soda) complements the standout new bar burger, with a poppy kaiser roll baked in-house by the excellent pastry program at Grand Stark Deli." - Jordan Michelman
"I chose the Hotel Grand Stark as the most centrally located lodging for this itinerary; the rooms are relatively spacious and well-appointed, it's pet-friendly (so you don't need a dogsitter), and the on-site amari-centric cocktail lounge is a definite plus." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"In one of Portland’s most up-and-coming corners is a hotel that puts its guests right in the thick of it. The Grand Stark is named for the intersection on which it stands, but it’s unmistakably Pali, with rooms decorated in a style that’s identifiably Northwestern but without any forest kitsch, and with public spaces that recall the days of the Grand Stark’s founding more than a century ago." - Mitchell Friedman
"A cocktail lounge within the Hotel Grand Stark serving spritzes, pizza, and antipasti like fritto misto and grilled focaccia." - Eater Staff
