“Kex Hotel in Portland brings a dose of Icelandic cool to a century-old building. I found the communal spaces foster a social atmosphere, and the on-site restaurant, Pacific Standard, is a draw with its unique cuisine. The rooftop bar seals the deal with city views, while the focus on sustainability feels like a genuine commitment.”
