The Kennedy School, originally the John D. Kennedy Elementary School, is a former elementary school that has been converted to a hotel, movie theater and dining establishment in northeast Portland, Oregon.[1][2] The facility is operated by the McMenamins chain. The hotel has 35 guestrooms, a brewery, four bars, and a restaurant.
History
The school was built in 1915. The land for the school was sold by John Daniel Kennedy to the Portland School District in 1913.[3]
Currently
By the 1990s, the school had been abandoned. McMenamins, the Portland-based hotel and pub group, bought the old building and funded a full renovation.[4] Today, the Kennedy School functions as an event space with 57 classroom-turned-guestrooms with original chalkboards included. The old cafeteria has been converted into a courtyard restaurant, and the common areas now include a bar, gift shop, movie theater, brewery, and soaking tub.[5]
Kennedy School won in the "Best Date Bar" category of Willamette Week's "Best of Portland Readers' Poll 2020".[6]
