Each of our vendors and each of our customers have a story to tell, and it’s our privilege at LMT to help weave the two together.
The next time you find yourself in Portland, Oregon, listen to the stories the Woodlark Hotel’s tabletop settings tell. Their roots are found in the Woodlark building’s century of history, while their ultimate blossoming is very much in the present. What was once home to a wholesale pharmacy and office space has since been relaunched and expanded to “The House of Welcome.” This concept speaks to a mission of food and hospitality that goes beyond style and design.
The cocktail hour begins at Abigail Hall, a charming room on the hotel’s first floor, dripping in vintage-inspired floral wallpaper in shades of forest green and a rosy spectrum of pinks. The space was once home to the Ladies Reception Hall. Activist (and namesake) Abigail Scott Duniway held early suffragist meetings in this very space. In this latest incarnation, Chena Pink share plates and Figgjo Strok dinnerware serve as classic canvases for an elevated bar snack menu, while Gold Miners, Hospitality Brands’ Timeless collection and julep glasses serve as playful glassware vessels for a speakeasy-inspired bar.
After cocktails, visit Bullard, the Texas meets Oregon barbecue restaurant at the entrance to the Woodlark. You’ll enjoy Chef Doug Adams’ elevated country cuisine in Haand Hospitality dinnerware in matte white, framed by Cardinal’s Renzo Patina flatware, bringing a polished and tiled space down a few notches with touches of rusticity. Think about hipster glamping on the Oregon Trail and enjoy shrimp and grits, crackling fried chicken and bright vegetable-forward fare.
When it’s time for a nightcap, adjourn to your guestroom and enjoy your tipple of choice in Nude’s Big Top glassware paired with Luigi Bormioli’s Bach flute and decanter. This thoughtfully chosen beverage service features striking vertical lines in a subtle nod to what was once Portland’s tallest skyscraper.
In every outlet of the hotel, Woodlark’s tabletop settings speak to a mission of foodservice that goes beyond design to imbue the entire space with warmth and authenticity. Their hospitality team’s commitment to staying true both to Portland’s diverse history and signature artistic flare is readily apparent from the moment you enter the hotel.
