The Press Hotel

Beyond Words! Converted from the historic former Portland Press Herald building, The Press Hotel draws inspiration from the craft of its former inhabitants. Each guestroom has been designed with elements of a 1920s writer’s office, including a vintage-styled journalist desk and playful newsroom references throughout. The lobby bar, dubbed the Inkwell, features industry-inspired décor and serves up handcrafted classic cocktails. Taking inspiration from 1920s writer’s offices, each of the hotel’s exquisite 110 guest rooms and suites feature a vintage-styled journalist desk, wood floors with herringbone area rug, and 100% local artwork, including a woven wall tapestry by Angela Adams. The historic building boasts oversized windows in every guest-room, providing natural light and fresh Maine air during your stay. Playful newsroom references abound, including thought-provoking quotes and occasional one-liners in the most unexpected places. Union Restaurant, is located within The Press Hotel.
