McMenamins Kennedy School - Historic Portland hotel with soaking pool, brewery, and movie theater in a 1915 schoolhouse
Operating since 1915 in Northeast Portland, this historic elementary school-turned-hotel features original chalkboards and cloakrooms in its guest rooms. The property's movie theater seats 300 people and shows second-run films with food service from the Theater Bar. A heated outdoor soaking pool sits in a private courtyard surrounded by gardens. The onsite brewery produces McMenamins ales, while multiple bars, including the Detention Bar and Theater Bar, serve handcrafted beverages and pub fare. Located minutes from Portland International Airport, McMenamins Kennedy School welcomes pets for a $30 daily fee. The property provides complimentary WiFi, bike storage, and free parking. Within walking distance are the Alberta Arts District's boutiques and galleries, while the Broadmoor Golf Course lies nearby on the Columbia River.
Pros
Original school features preserved, including chalkboards and auditorium murals
Multiple unique bars themed around school spaces (Detention, Theater, Honors)
Free movie theater access and soaking pool use for hotel guests
Located in walkable neighborhood with local shops and restaurants
Cons
Public access to soaking pool during daytime hours (10:30am-7:30pm)

“The conversion of a former school into a hotel is more than just a gimmick; it's a genuinely charming experience, enhanced by the thoughtful art installations throughout the property. I appreciate the themed bars and the unique soaking pool tucked away in the gardens. For those seeking a memorable and slightly quirky stay, this spot delivers in spades.”
