The Olympic Club Hotel is a historic hotel owned by McMenamins Pubs & Breweries in Centralia, Washington, United States. Built in 1908, it was originally known as the Oxford Hotel.[1] After acquiring the property in 1997,[1] McMenamins changed the name to reflect the new ownership. The hotel features 27 European-style guest rooms[2] and a brewpub movie theater.

Notorious train robber Roy Gardner was re-captured at the then-Oxford Hotel after escaping federal custody in 1921.[3]

The Olympic Club also hosts musical acts as part of the McMenamin chain's "Great Northwest Music Tour," mostly consisting of bands from the Portland, Oregon area.
