The Hotel Zags is an inclusive and outdoors-centric hotel property which celebrates all of Portland’s weirdness. Located in the heart of the city, The Hotel Zags is the perfect base camp for those eager to explore downtown Portland’s culture and the Pacific Northwest’s wild spaces. As you plan your next PNW getaway, here is why The Hotel Zags should be at the top of your list:
- Central Location
As mentioned, the Hotel Zags is conveniently located in downtown Portland’s fountain district. It is just five blocks from the Willamette River and less than a two hour drive to Mt. Hood. Take a walking tour of nearby art galleries one day, and hit the slopes the next! It is a perfect location for anyone looking to pack a lot of activities into a quick weekend trip.
- Champions Inclusivity
The Hotel Zags is standalone in its approach to inclusivity. The hotel aims to promote diversity and inclusion through their daily operations. They also support their community through partnerships, programs and events. Most recently, the hotel announced their support of Pride NW’s Never Look Away mural, celebrating the beauty and struggle of Oregon’s LGBTQ+ community.
- Gear Shed
But their most unique amenity? The hotel sports an awesome Gear Shed which gives guests access to outdoor gear and equipment such as bikes, helmets, fishing rods, cameras, backpacks, scooters, yoga mats, GoPros and more. The property is also located four blocks away from Waterfront Park along the Willamette River! This makes it an ideal stay for outdoorsy travelers looking for a base camp that supports their PNW adventures while keeping their own luggage light.
- Pet-Friendly
Want to get away for the weekend but can’t bear the thought of leaving your pup at home? Bring them along for the fun! The Hotel Zags is pet-friendly and loves dogs! Its proximity to the park and river make it a fun and hassle-free place to travel with your pups. The hotel also offers some uniquely Portland experiences, such as their “Belly Rubs & Chill” package, which gives you a CBD-infused beverage and your dog some soothing hemp oil treats.
- Drags @ Zags Brunch
Relaunching in Spring 2023, the Hotel Zags will host its very popular and fabulous brunch event, Drags @ Zags, on their patio each month. Think paint and sip… but led by two of Portland’s finest drag queens. Syra St. James and Valerie Deville guide guests through a step by step painting party, providing hilarious critiques along the way. Paired with amazing wine and a delicious brunch, what more could you ask for? This is the perfect event for bachelorette parties or just a fun day out with friends.
