14 Best Hotels in Portland, OR

"It might seem counterintuitive to spend your vacation holed up in, well, a school, but this historic treasure is no ordinary institution of learning; rather, it’s an abandoned WWI-era elementary school saved from certain death by the McMenamin brothers, the region’s quirkiest development duo. The classrooms have comfy queen beds and private bathrooms as well as full-sized chalkboards; the auditorium is lined with sofas and overstuffed chairs (perfect for curling up in and watching family-friendly flicks with popcorn, pizza, and pints); the teachers' lounge is now a saltwater soaking pool; and the detention room is strictly for socializing and sipping hooch. In other words: the school of our dreams." - Jen Stevenson
