Typically Kimpton Hotels, but not this post. Those posts will follow, I’m sure.  I want to retire and move into the Kimpton Hotel Palomar in Dupont Circle, Washington DC. I will be dining at Firefly (in the Kimpton Madera) around the corner. Dog friendly!

These are definitely designer’s hotels.

Today I am writing about the Jupiter Inn, Portland Oregon. This hotel is part of the Tablet Hotel chain and recommended by Mr. & Mrs. Smith, whoever they are. I am intrigued by the images, the design and the fact that it seems to be a motel designed into a Hotel. The Doug Fir Lounge seems to a cool place with a modern vibe wrapped in a rustic enclosure. Just try that as a design challenge. Not so easy.

Cool Hunting has a great piece on this cool joint here. Check out those great beams, elegant and super butch. Oerall a great themed space, a new definition of the design of the living theatre.
