Much of the west coast of the USA likes to fashion itself as different, edgy, hip, wild, unpredictable and not the norm. And, living in Vancouver as we do, we can certainly attest to that ethos. As ever, why be normal? Normal is boring and life should be full of surprises – good ones, at least.
With that in mind, please direct your attention to one of Portland, Oregon’s offerings. In the Concordia neighbourhood sits a large edifice that could be a school, or an office from the past. Unassuming, in other words. It once was a school, but now it’s one of the most quirky and fun hotels you’ll ever encounter if you’re a fan of the unusual, like we are. It’s been likened to a Hogwarts experience, and who wouldn’t love that?
Located in Portland, 3.1 mi from Oregon Convention Center, McMenamins Kennedy School offers unique accommodations in a historic elementary school. Various restaurants and bars are available on-site.
