PORTLAND, Ore. - The Jupiter Hotel continues welcoming travelers from all walks of life with a new room package, Keep Portland Queer. By focusing on the LGBTQ community, which has always been a pillar of support for the property, the Jupiter aims to provide tools that invite guests to come as they are for a comfortable travel experience.

While the place to rest your head comes standard, this special package encourages Jupiter Hotel visitors to bask in all that Keeps Portland Queer with an LGBT Travel Portland brochure, as well as complimentary goodies including Out City and PQ Monthly magazines, Voodoo Doughnuts, a gift card to Fantasy Adult Superstore and a bottle of Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato, with ten percent of the proceeds from the package donated to the PDX Q Center.

The Keep Portland Queer Room Special Includes:

  • An overnight stay - Stay the night in one of Jupiter Hotel's unconventional rooms, complete with a queen-sized bed, wall murals, chalkboard doors and green amenities.

  • Overnight Parking - The Jupiter Hotel provides Keep Portland Queer guests on-site parking to stash their cars during their adventure.

    Additionally, the package will return ten percent of the proceeds to the PDX Q Center, encouraging a symbiotic relationship with local LGBTQ partners and beneficiaries.
