Map of Mcmenamins Crystal Hotel
Property Description
Located in downtown Portland's West End on the edge of the Pearl District are the Crystal Hotel and Ballroom blocks – an area that could be renamed “rock 'n' roll row.” The Crystal Hotel, a 1911 flatiron, has 51 guestrooms, each with décor inspired by a song or performance from the neighboring Crystal Ballroom's glorious past.Tucked between Pride Plaza and the Pearl District, Hal's Café offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our chefs craft seasonal dishes with fresh Northwest ingredients, and bar specialists craft shrubs and sodas in house. They have also curated an extensive spirit, wine and craft cocktail list.Find respite in the midst of bustling downtown in the subterranean saltwater soaking pool. Overnight hotel guests can unwind after a day exploring before heading to the Crystal Ballroom for a concert. Al's Den is an intimate music venue named for Al Winter, Portland's gambling overlord who, in the 1940s, managed his vast empire that spanned the Pacific Northwest and into Las Vegas from this very location. Today in Al's Den, we host live music, comedy nights and artist residencies. Venture a few steps into Ringlers Annex, a cool bar offering creatively crafted island-inspired beverages.Across the street at the Crystal Ballroom, you'll find Ringlers Pub, named for dance instructor Montrose Ringler. Ringers features classic American fare in a pub where pinball, shuffleboard and pool tables beckon.When it comes to Portland, Oregon hotels, the Crystal Hotel, well, rocks. The Crystal Hotel is on the National Register of Historic Places.Large Groups WelcomeWe are happy to host all kinds of gatherings, from birthday dinners to holiday celebrations, and we have just what you need for large groups. Namesake of good-times, law-dodging, dance hall owner Montrose Ringler, this pub relived a slice of history a hundred years after first opening: Montrose Ringler's Crystal Ballroom was shut down by the well-meaning, but stern, Lola Baldwin in the 1920s, only to reemerge as a different kind of dance hall, then later as a venue spotlighting the likes of James Brown, Marvin Gaye, the Grateful Dead and Buffalo Springfield. In 2020-21 we had a shutdown of a different sort, but Ringlers Pub's phoenix-like return didn't feel so different. This place of pinball, pool games, great meals, handcrafted beverages and spirited conversations sprang back, just as it did post-Lola. Anchored by a spectacular mosaic-tiled bar, Ringlers, located at street level below the Crystal Ballroom, was opened by the McMenamins brothers in 1997 after years as an auto dealership, then glass company. Ringlers is known for its extensive whiskey selection: more than 160 from around the world, and growing. It's a great downtown spot to stop for a whiskey, ale or cocktail.
