Jupiter NEXT – East Side Energy, Elevated
Bold design, urban edge, and a view for days
From Retro Roots to Modern Minimalism
Standing proudly beside its retro-chic sister property, the Jupiter Hotel, the Jupiter NEXT is a sleek, contemporary counterpoint. Where the original Jupiter channels vintage motel vibes and nightlife nostalgia, the NEXT is airy, asymmetrical, and unapologetically modern. Its glass-wrapped façade, crisp architectural angles, and sculptural presence make it a standout on Portland’s lively East Side.
Location, Location, and a Little Elevation
Just a two-minute drive from the Oregon Convention Center and a short, scenic walk over the Burnside Bridge to downtown, the hotel offers prime access to Portland’s creative hub of bars, breweries, and food carts. Guests can explore on foot or simply soak in the neighborhood’s energy from one of the hotel’s floor-specific patios, each designed as a fresh-air lounge with sweeping city views.
Inside the NEXT
The vibe is contemporary Northwest chic: polished concrete floors, custom woodwork, and local artwork curated by Portland creatives. Rooms feel spacious and light-filled, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing cityscapes, plush bedding, and streamlined, urban-inspired furnishings. Local touches—like Sustainable Northwest wood finishes and custom fixtures from Oregon artisans—tie the experience back to the city’s maker culture.
Fuel and Fun
At street level, a full-service café caters to daytime cravings with specialty coffee, local pastries, and fresh grab-and-go options. After dark, the lobby bar transforms into a late-night social hub, where guests and locals mingle over craft cocktails and Pacific Northwest wines. The hotel also boasts dedicated creative spaces, perfect for co-working or hosting events—an extension of its philosophy of blending hospitality and community.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Jupiter NEXT takes everything people loved about the original Jupiter and pushes it forward—literally up, with views, height, and a dose of modern design swagger. For travelers who want to be plugged into Portland’s creative energy without sacrificing comfort or style, this is a sharp, social, and sky-kissed urban base.
