Olympic Club Hotel

Built in 1908, the Olympic Club Hotel was originally known as the Oxford Hotel.[2] After acquiring the property in 1997,[2] McMenamins changed the name to reflect the new ownership.

Notorious train robber Roy Gardner was re-captured at the then-Oxford Hotel after escaping federal custody in 1921.[3] He was known as the "Gentleman Bandit".[1]

The Olympic Club accommodates a bar and restaurant within a pool hall setting that contains original, vintage decor. The mahogany bar is decorated with stained glass lamps and is host to two antique cash registers. The venue also includes a brewpub movie house, known as the Olympic Club Theater, which was once a clothing store and billiards room. The theater is decorated with a tin ceiling, various forms of art including photos of notorious guests, and velvet couches. Film showings are free for guests. and food and drink service is provided during screenings.[1] The hotel features 27 European-style guest rooms.[4]

The Olympic Club hosts musical acts as part of the McMenamin chain's "Great Northwest Music Tour," mostly consisting of bands from the Portland, Oregon area.
