Make College Family Weekend Special with the Avalon Hotel & Spa

Some might think that family weekend at Portland's various colleges and universities is designed to help students adjust and ease into living away from home for the first time, but deep down, everyone knows family weekend is more for the parents than the students. Usually occurring in October or November, family weekend is a chance for mom and dad to further embarrass, give advice to, and squeeze the heck out of their college-age son or daughter for 48 hours, offering a sigh of relief from the stresses of empty nest syndrome.

Centrally located in the Portland area, just south of downtown and mere minutes from I-5 and beyond, the Avalon Hotel & Spa makes visiting your student for family weeknd a luxurious experience. With many of Portland's colleges and universities nearby, including Lewis & Clark College, Reed College, Marylhurst University, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland State University, University of Portland, and more, you'll find staying at the Avalon Hotel & Spa makes saying goodbye at the end of the weekend a little bit easier.
