Property Description
The Press Hotel, located on the corner of Exchange and Congress Streets in the Old Port District, features 110 thoughtfully appointed luxury guestrooms, including a Penthouse Suite with rooftop access and 360-degree views of the city; four private function rooms and is home to UNION, its 65-seat restaurant by Head Chef, Christian Bassett. Each guestroom has design inspired by a 1920s writer's office including a vintage-styled journalist desk, playful newsroom references throughout and floor to ceiling marble bathrooms. An iconic front-desk "letterpress art wall" welcomes guests to its front desk and to its Inkwell lobby bar featuring hand crafted cocktails. The hotel also has an Art Gallery featuring local artists works, open to the public, which also includes a two story signature installation piece of vintage typewriters called the SWARM, to depict the chaos of a newsroom.

The Press Hotel is a very nice hotel; clean, modern, upscale. But I found the valuer for the money was lacking. The food in their restaurant, Union, was above average but the prices were too high for what you got. Breakfast for two (one order of oatmeal and one order of a smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese) came to $44, and with a 20% tip thrown in the meal cost $53. For breakfast! My dinner the night before was similar; very tasty food, but not worth the $125 price for two people. If you don't mind spending lots of $$, it's a great hotel with excellent service and nice rooms.

A well conceived and thoughtfully decorated hotel paying tribute to the history of the building it calls home: friendly and welcoming staff, nicely appointed rooms with an attention to quality, and a good location in downtown Portland. It would be nice if some sort of coffee and tea service was provided in the room, or at least a hot water kettle; also that the breakfast doesn’t start until 7:30 makes for less flexibility in the morning—though my meal was quite tasty and with expeditious service. I would happily stay here again.

Portland cozy hotel
Very nice hotel, clean, modern and efficient.
Room was very comfortable
Restaurant was nice- lot resources of hostess- waiter MIA frequently- maybe repurpose a hostess?
Pricey to park valet in off season- staff was very friendly and helpful- snowy streets and such would not wanted to try to deal with parking and carrying luggage
Would stay again !

The stay was nice. Room was a little small but clean and modern. Room was a little noisy as we were on the second floor and could hear the street noise. The bed was comfy, tv big and service/staff very nice.

The front desk and valet were great. They were friendly and prompt and helped me to get my car from the valet and warmed up the next morning. That part was seamless. We had a deluxe room and it was spacious, and the bathroom was beautiful and modern- with robes! My only complaint is how expensive the restaurant and bar were and that they weren't open all day. The food tasted very good. I live in the NYC area and I am used to pricy food, but this was a bit much and the drinks were very overpriced for what I was served.
