Portland, United States - July 7, 2020 /PressCable/ —

Portland’s White House, which was recently selected by Jetsetter.com as one of the top seven bed & breakfasts in the U.S., is introducing Digital Nomad Packages, special room rates and other perks aimed at attracting this niche market. Digital nomads, a concept growing in popularity due to the pandemic lockdown, refers to those in the workforce who work remotely thanks to advances in technology and like a change in scenery by moving from one destination to another for relatively long periods of time.

“We’ve welcomed a few digital nomads since the lockdown began who have stayed anywhere from a week or three weeks at a time,” says owner Frank Groff. “When I researched the concept, I was fascinated and immediately thought we need to do something to attract this new and growing market. We have reduced our room rates due to the pandemic and we will further discount them to digital nomads based on how long their stay is.”

Haakon Weinstein, a self-described digital nomad, recently enjoyed a stay at Portland’s White House.

“I was going stir crazy staying cooped up in my apartment during lockdown,” says Weinstein, a commercial real estate executive. “I decided to change things up. Since our entire staff are working from home during the pandemic and I was getting bored being stuck in the same environment everyday, I ventured out and made reservations at different places. I’ stayed at a friend’s house in wine country, in an Airbnb on the coast and at Portland’s White House because I always wanted to stay there and I’m so glad I did. It’s absolutely beautiful, the managers are warm and friendly and the food is excellent.”

Groff, who with his partner, David Krause, painstakingly restored the 1914 Greek Revival mansion after purchasing it in 2018, said that room rates will be reduced 10% for one week stays, 15% for two week stays and 20% for three or more weeks. In addition, guests receive one complimentary bottle of either Champagne/Prosecco, pinot noir or chardonnay and a charcuterie plate for each week of their stay.

In accordance with Governor Kate Brown’s orders, guests and staff are encouraged to abide by social distancing requirements and wear masks that will be provided to them. In addition, hand sanitizers can be found in every room as well as in all common areas and staff regularly have their temperatures taken as a precaution.

Portland’s White House, which holds a place of honor on the National Historic Registry, was built in 1911 for Oregon timber baron Robert Lytle, who spared no expense on its construction. He made it virtually fireproof with metal lath and plaster and tile roofs then carefully installed the very finest materials, including mahogany accents, wood floors and tasteful stained glass windows crafted by the Povey Brothers — “The Tiffany of the Northwest.”

Groff and Krause spent $1 million undertaking the extensive remodel of both the Main and Carriage houses that feature 9 ensuite bedrooms, grand common areas and an 85-seat ballroom that is ideal for wedding receptions, corporate affairs, birthday celebrations, etc.
