Each guestroom features unique artwork inspired by performances from the Crystal Ballroom's 100-year history, with 9 king suites including private bathrooms, 39 queen rooms, and 3 twin rooms with shared hallway bathrooms. The Crystal Hotel houses multiple dining venues including Hal's Café serving Northwest cuisine and Al's Den, a subterranean music venue named after 1940s gambling overlord Al Winter. Hotel guests receive complimentary access to the basement saltwater soaking pool, open daily from 7 AM to 1 AM. The property welcomes pets for an additional $30 per day and provides bike-friendly amenities including in-room bicycle storage. Situated between the Pearl District and West Burnside Street, Mcmenamins Crystal Hotel stands adjacent to Powell's City of Books and Providence Park stadium.

“This historic hotel is alive with music and art, channeling Portland's vibrant culture; the themed rooms and on-site entertainment create an immersive experience. I appreciate its dedication to local brews and community events, offering a genuine taste of the city.
