The Kennedy School by the McMenamin brothers is a whimsical 35-room inn that was formerly an elementary school. Rather than finger paintings done by second graders, the walls are covered in fun mosaics and photography from when the Kennedy School was an actual school. Ever wanted to have a cigarette and a cocktail inside of an elementary school? Well then the Detention Bar is the place for you! Non-smoker? Then visit the Honors Bar for cocktail hour instead! The Kennedy School also features a movie theater, playing second-run films, that serves beer and pizza to enjoy while you watch the film!
Want to be closer to downtown? The Mallory Hotel offers old timey gilded kitch in a well maintained older hotel from yesteryear. The Mallory is located just outside of downtown and is a pleasant eight-block walk to the heart of the city.
Like the quiet and intimacy of staying in a bed and breakfast? The Lion and the Rose B&B located in the Irvington neighborhood of northeast Portland is in a most lovely setting. The Irvington neighborhood, with its many old trees and large older houses, has a tremendous amount of character and style and is a perfect place for a walk. The Lion and the Rose has an excellent reputation as one of Portland's finest B&Bs.
Is money no object? Then throw caution to the wind and book a suite at the Hotel Vintage Plaza, where many of the rooms have skylights and jacuzzis and every evening winds down with complimentary tastings of Oregon wines.
Or maybe you're on a pretty tight budget? The Hawthorne Hostel is the place for you, then, with its dormitory-like rooms and one large private room - not to mention, very low rates! Its location in the popular bohemian Hawthorne neighborhood is an added plus.
