Carved from the 1912 Elks Temple on Southwest 11th Avenue — its Beaux-Arts facade of rusticated stone, paired pilasters, and medallion reliefs still legible in the image above — the Sentinel sits inside one of Portland's most architecturally assured Edwardian civic buildings, a structure that spent decades as a fraternal lodge before Provenance Hotels transformed it into a 100-room property in 2014. The conversion preserved the building's monumental street presence while threading contemporary hospitality through its upper floors, a balance that few adaptive reuse projects in the Pacific Northwest have managed as cleanly. The interiors, developed under Provenance's in-house design approach, work in deep forest greens and warm taupes — tall wingback headboards upholstered in natural linen, herringbone-patterned carpets in charcoal and stone, X-frame ottomans in blackened steel sitting at the foot of each bed. Framed pop-art prints add an unexpected irreverence against the saturated walls. The ground-floor bar pulls reclaimed timber into a chevron wall pattern behind a granite fireplace, paired with slate-blue tub chairs and a well-stocked back bar that leans into Pacific Northwest whisky culture. A wine bar fitted with wine-crate cladding and quartz tasting counters extends the property's food and beverage ambitions beyond the expected. Together these spaces have the atmosphere of a private club that has quietly relaxed its dress code.
