McMenamins Kennedy School

In Northeast Portland, a short drive from the Portland Expo Center and Oregon Convention Center. About 6 km from downtown and close to Fernhill Park, Alberta Rose Theatre and Alberta Park. Pet-friendly hotel with free self-parking and easy access to Moda Center and Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

This converted-school‑style hotel offers 57 air‑conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, showers, bathrobes, alarm clocks and complimentary toiletries. Décor leans local and relaxed, with some rooms opening onto garden views and shared outdoor spaces. Expect an offbeat, communal vibe rather than cookie‑cutter chain styling.

Unwind in a hot tub or wander the garden for chill mornings. Stay connected with complimentary Wi‑Fi, use on-site parking, and tap into handy services like an on-site ATM, concierge and safe-deposit boxes. The property is pet-friendly and features multiple bars and lounges for late-night drinks.

Four meeting rooms make this a solid pick for small events or corporate offsites. Complimentary wireless internet, 24-hour front desk and luggage storage keep business trips smooth.

The Courtyard Restaurant focuses on local cuisine, plus there’s a coffee shop/cafe for quick bites. Room service is available during limited hours and cooked‑to‑order breakfasts are served (weekdays 7:00–11:00, weekends 7:00–13:00 for a fee). Five bars and lounges offer plenty of options for late-night sipping.
