BUSINESS NEWS COAST RIVER BUSINESS JOURNAL JULY 2021 • 3 Boutique hotel opens Astoria riverfront revitalization moves forward By M.J.

As founders of Adrift Hospitality, a Washington-based, sustainability-driven B corporation generating inno- vative lodging, eateries and products, their newest venture is the Bowline Hotel on Astoria’s riverfront. The boutique hotel, just east of Buoy Brewing Company, at the foot of 9th Street, encompasses a former fi shery and its adjacent icehouse. It is the sixth lodging property for Adrift Hospitality and its second hotel in Oregon. Long known for unique, aff ordable, lean and clean, industrial design incli- nations, the $5.4-million dollar Bowline is a slight departure from their other properties. “This project has been super exciting as it is something that we haven’t done before and that has presented lots of challenges and opportunities,” said Tiff any. “It’s the fi rst time we’ve repurposed a prop- erty that wasn’t formerly lodging and in turning a historic building into luxury accommodations.” Even though entering a more upscale hotel If You Go CONTACT CRBJ Submit news: editor@crbizjournal.com Website: CoastRiverBusinessJournal.com Coast River Business Journal 205 Bolstad Ave. E.

Bow- line too, integrates the distinct fl avor that attracts so many. “Our vision has always been to create unique spaces that are authentic to place and allow people to experience more than just an overnight stay,” Tif- fany added. “Brady and the rest of our team have done a brilliant job of designing our most luxurious hotel to date, while still retaining the character of the cannery and its maritime setting.” See Page 4 M.J.
