McMenamins Kennedy School
Portland, Oregon
Going inside an elementary school has never been so much fun. McMenamins Kennedy School is a astoundingly odd hotel inside a renovated 1915 elementary school in Concordia. In addition to the 57 guest rooms — some housed in former classrooms, and others with an author's there — the building is also home to a restaurant, a movie theater housed in a former auditorium, a soaking pool, multiple bars — including one located in the old boiler room — and a fully-functional brewery. And happily for all you Brownsville Station aficionados, cigar smoking is allowed — but in the Detention Bar, not the boy's room.
