McMenamins Crystal Hotel

Located just across the street from the legendary Crystal Ballroom, the Crystal Hotel has 51 comfortable guestrooms, each inspired by a song or performance from the Crystal Ballroom's past 100 years. Colorfully painted panels and headboards anchor the rooms, while deeply-hued walls, black velvet drapery and animal print upholstery lend a rock ‘n’ roll vibe. Large windows afford views of the city from all angles. Room rates include admission to the soaking pool and the opportunity to purchase tickets to the Crystal Ballroom show.

Although we didn’t stay here, we were permitted to take a look in the rooms. Each of the rooms feature a theme based on people who have performed in the ballroom over the years. Very cool idea of having shared bathrooms (one man can, don’t worry). I fell in love with its vintage charm and vow to return someday to stay there. They also have a salt water soaking pool in the basement where you’re permitted to bring your drinks into! Open until 1am!! SUCH a lovely place, the staff were so friendly and helpful as well. I am in love!
