The Press Hotel, Autograph Collection - A boutique lifestyle hotel in a historic newspaper building with local art gallery and craft cocktail bar
Located on the edge of Portland's Old Port district, The Press Hotel occupies a historic building transformed into a 4-star Portland hotel with distinctive newsroom-inspired design. The property features an art gallery showcasing Maine artists and the SWARM installation - a two-story display of vintage typewriters depicting newsroom chaos. Guest rooms incorporate 1920s writer's office elements, including vintage-styled journalist desks and floor-to-ceiling marble bathrooms. The 65-seat UNION restaurant, led by Head Chef Christian Bassett, sources ingredients from local farmers and fishermen. The Inkwell lobby bar serves handcrafted cocktails and starts each day with complimentary coffee and fresh pastries. Four private function rooms accommodate business events, while a fitness center equipped with Peloton bikes caters to active guests. The Press Hotel, Autograph Collection stands 6 miles from Portland International Jetport, surrounded by cobblestone lanes dotted with boutiques and restaurants.
