Old St. Francis School, Catholic school turned hotel in Bend, Oregon, US

The Old St. Francis School is a former school building in Bend that now functions as a hotel with 60 guest rooms spread across multiple buildings. The property includes a pub, brewery, movie theater, and spaces for private events.

St. Francis School was designed by Hugh Thompson on the site of the Catholic parish house next to St. Francis Catholic Church, with construction planned from May 1925 and a budget of $45,000. Four teaching sisters of the order of St. Joseph were expected to teach pupils up to eighth grade. Two classrooms were added in 1953, and a parish center expansion with gym, stage, meeting rooms and cafeteria followed in 1968. The school moved to a new campus in 2000, and McMenamins reopened the old building in November 2004.

The school opened in May 1925 with four teaching sisters of the Order of St. Joseph, who taught pupils up to eighth grade. Its second-floor parish hall hosted the altar societies, the Knights of Columbus and children's parish organizations. McMenamins reopened the building in November 2004 as a pub, hotel and guest houses.

The property sits in downtown Bend, next to St. Francis Catholic Church, and the former classrooms, parish hall and gym now hold the pub, brewery, theater, live music venue and soaking pool. The Art House and Ed House stand on the grounds, and the old bungalow houses at the back of the lot became guest houses. Some rooms and the soaking pool are for overnight guests.

The Art House and Ed House, added in 2016, hold original works by local artists in the guestrooms and include "secret rooms" that guests can find. The 2016 renovation brought the property to 60 guestrooms, with a pub, brewery, live music venue, theater and soaking pool.
