Hotels & Accommodation for XOXO 2015
Note: This is an outdated, archived post. Looking for XOXO 2018 hotels? Right over here.
Hey, everyone! While XOXO 2015 passes are still rolling out to attendees, we know many of you are anxious to start booking your accommodation. Fortunately, we’ve negotiated some great discounts for you at various hotels around town.
September is a very busy month for events in Portland, with a lot of other festivals going on during or around the weekend that XOXO is taking place. These room blocks won’t last long, so don’t delay!
Like last year, we’re running a continuous shuttle from all the hotels below to our festival venues. The Jupiter Hotel is a short ten-minute walk from the main XOXO venue, and all the other downtown hotels will take about 30 minutes by foot, which might prove a great reason to rent a bike while you’re in town.
When?
We highly recommend that you come in on Thursday and leave no earlier than Sunday night — preferably Monday morning.
Our opening party kicks off XOXO on Thursday night, and we run talks until Sunday 5pm, often saving our favorite speakers for last, followed by a big closing party that runs from 7pm until late.
We know some people may need to leave early, so we will shed a tear when you go.
Hilton Portland & Executive Tower
Located four blocks from the Marriott, the Hilton also boasts close proximity to public transport, and plenty of great food and drink. Our shuttle stops at the Hilton, and runs continuously during XOXO. Discounted single or double rooms come in at $179/night + tax, with complimentary wifi included.

Jupiter Hotel
Update: the Jupiter is now sold out. We’re back at the Jupiter again this year, a funky restored motel in inner SE Portland. Adjacent to the Doug Fir Lounge, one of Portland’s best music venues. Our shuttle will pick up and drop off at the Jupiter all weekend.
An easy 10-minute walk to XOXO, this is also our most affordable hotel option, with 81 rooms between $149 - $159 / night (+ tax), complimentary wifi included. The cheaper bar-side rooms can get noisy in the evenings, or you can choose one of the quieter rooms on the “Chill” side of the hotel.
Book now or learn more.
Marriott City Center
Update: the Marriott is now sold out. The Marriott’s “boutique” City Center location is in convenient proximity to great coffee, the downtown cart pods, and public transportation to/from the airport. Our shuttle will also pick up right in front of the Marriott, and runs continuously during XOXO. Our attendee discount brings rooms down to $169/night + tax, including complimentary wifi.
