Oxford Hotel

Top choice in Bend


Bend's premier boutique hotel is deservedly popular. The smallest rooms are still huge (470 sq ft) and are decked out with ecofriendly features such as soy-foam mattresses and cork flooring. High-tech aficionados will love the iPod docks and smart-panel desks. Suites (with kitchen and steam shower) are available, and the basement restaurant is slick.

The modern design and chic, cool-tone muted color scheme would fit in fine in a major city, so it simply sparkles in the more town-sized Bend.
