Since its 1915 opening, this historic elementary school has been a beloved fixture of its Northeast Portland neighborhood. McMenamins renovated the once-abandoned scholastic gem and turned it into Portland's most unique hotel. Here you'll find 57 comfy guestrooms with private baths and telephones (some fashioned from former classrooms complete with original chalkboards and cloakrooms – others with an author's theme), a restaurant, multiple small bars, a movie theater, soaking pool, gift shop and a brewery (just wait until the principal hears about this!). Extensive original artwork and historical photographs cover the walls, ceilings, doorways and hallways

Portland’s waterfront is an exquisite sight to behold – historic bridges and architecture, urban wildlife, a stunning natural waterfall – but soaking up that view is much more fun from your seat on one of our jet boat tours in Oregon. In 1997, Willamette Jetboat Excursions was the first company offering these tours on the Willamette River. Today, we are still Portland’s ultimate river experience.
