McMenamins Kennedy School Review

In a renovated elementary school in northeast Portland, the Kennedy School may well be one of the most unusual hotels you'll ever encounter. With all of the guest rooms occupying former classrooms, complete with the original chalkboards and cloakrooms, the McMenamins brothers have created a multi-use facility that is both luxurious and fantastical. Go to the Detention Bar for cigars and one of the only two TVs on-site; visit the Honors Bar for classical music and cocktails.

    I liked the Kennedy School because it is in a quiet residential area. Many of the local neighbors show up to go to the funky theatre, hang out in the restaurant and bar. It has a hot - or soaking tub/pool that is lovely.
