KENNEDY SCHOOL HOTEL
If only real school were this much fun. This destination property, set within a former school, has the lot: a cinema, courtyard restaurant, soaking pool, music venue, craft brewery and three bars, as well as 57 classrooms-turned-bedrooms. A bohemian rock-androll style, troves of antiques and bespoke artworks tell
the story of the property; strolling the hallways and picking out the symbolism in the paintings is all part of the experience. It’s in the Northeast neighbourhood, with downtown just 15 minutes away by car.
ROOMS: From $179 (£130). mcmenamins.com
