Our favourite rooms
The individually designed bedrooms at Blind Tiger Portland – Carleton Street are made all the more alluring by high ceilings and original ornate cornicing. Pillow talk becomes particularly seductive in sage-green Saoko; Little Bird was the home’s former master bedroom, and Norumbega overlooks the back garden.
Spa
There’s no spa at Blind Tiger Portland – Carleton Street, but staff can arrange sauna blankets and in-room massages with advance notice.
Packing tips
The city’s blossoming culinary scene means forgiving waistbands will come in handy. Lean into the trendsetting aesthetic with a film camera, too.
Also
Portland has more than one Blind Tiger, thanks to Carleton Street’s sister stay around the corner, Blind Tiger – Danforth Street.
Children
Little Smiths are welcome, but as there’s no specific kit or rollaway beds, this guesthouse is better suited to older children who can sleep in their own room.
