Another McMenamins location, the Crystal Ballroom is located in downtown Portland’s West End, on the edge of the Pearl District. The Crystal Hotel, a century-old flatiron classic, has 51 guestrooms. Each room’s décor is inspired by a song or performance from the neighboring Crystal Ballroom's glorious past 100 years.
