The Kennedy School is a landmark in Northeast Portland. Owned by McMenamins, the old refurbished school building is well-known as a bar, restaurant, hotel and meeting place. However, what you may not know is that inside the school is one of the nicest heated soaking tubs in town, making it the perfect place to be a cool fall day.
The Kennedy School opened in 1915 as an elementary school and was in operation until 1975.
When the school closed, it sat in disrepair until 1997. The McMenamins brothers launched a redesign of the school, and The Kennedy School as we know it today was brought to life.

The soaking tub, in lovely courtyard, is in the actual location of the old teacher's lounge. A saltwater pool, it is refreshing and mellow. For hotel guests, the hours of the pool at 8 am to 11 pm. For visitors, the hours are from 10 am to 8 pm for those over 18, and 11 am to 6 pm for supervised minors.

After you take a relaxing soak, head to detention or any of the other themed bars in the building to have a drink and fully enjoy your relaxing outing.
