Olympic Club: Olympic Club Hotel
built 219 days ago
The Olympic Club Hotel is a historic hotel owned by McMenamins Pubs & Breweries in Centralia, Washington, United States. Built in 1915, it was originally known as the Oxford Hotel. This is where notorious train robber Roy Gardner was re-captured after escaping federal custody in 1921. After acquiring the property in 1997, McMenamins changed the name to reflect the new ownership. The hotel features 27 European-style guest rooms and a brewpub movie theatre, where patrons may relax with a beer (or anything else from the menu) in comfortable couches and padded chairs while watching films.
