Only in Portland: a 1915 elementary school turned hotel, where classrooms became guest rooms with the chalkboards still up. Kennedy School is part hotel, part playground: a movie theater, a soaking pool, bars tucked into old classrooms and hallways full of art.
In the Concordia neighborhood of Northeast Portland, near the Alberta Arts District’s galleries, cafes and murals, a short drive or bus ride from downtown.
Catch a second-run movie from a couch with pizza and a pint, soak in the saltwater soaking pool, and hunt for the hidden bars tucked around the school.
Perfect for families, the young at heart and travelers who want the most Portland stay imaginable.
