The Portland Arts and Lectures Series Hotel: Avalon Hotel & Spa

In Portland, lecture series get top billing as notables from all areas of academia frequently fill the Portland area's lecture halls and auditoriums for pontifications and ruminations on a variety of subjects, including physics, religion, medicine, economics, the environment, sociology, and many others that affect the world around us. It's not just the fact that Portland is one of the more educated cities in the U.S.; 40% of adults here have earned a college degree—more than 10 points higher than the national average. In addition, the number of schools here with nationally recognized program concentrations (OHSU in medical research and  PSU in urban sustainability, among others),,coupled with a naturally inquisitive and open-minded populus, creates an environment where arts and lectures series in Portland fetch top dollar for tickets to see marquis speakers from a variety of fields.

Whether you're in Portland as a visiting lecturer or professor, or you're coming to hear one speak, you'll find the Avalon Hotel & Spa the perfect place to stay during your lecture series visit. Located just south of downtown Portland, along the banks of the Willamette in the South Waterfront District, the Spa at the Avalon Hotel is the perfect way to relax the body after expanding the mind. And with many of Portland's universities just a stone's throw away, including OHSU, Portland State University, Marylhurst University, and Lewis & Clark, you'll find getting to and from your lecture series event a breeze.
