Student Accommodations
It is our goal to make your stay in Portland as comfortable as possible while you are attending Floral Design Institute®. If you have any questions or concerns about lodging, restaurants, planes, buses, trains, shopping, weather, what to wear, what to see or what to do, please feel free to call and ask.
There are excellent housing options at all budget levels for students taking classes at the Floral Design Institute in Portland. We have selected accommodations on which our students have given favorable reports. All are within an easy commute or walk from the Institute and Downtown Portland. With all selected accommodations you must contact and make arrangements directly with the innkeeper or management. Always ask for a Floral Design Institute "student rate" and a discount on extended stays. We attempt to keep prices and other information up to date, but we cannot make any guarantees.
