15 Best Hotels in Portland, Maine

"A hidden gem in the West End, The Pomegranate Inn has a collection of contemporary art in a vivid array of colors. Each piece of furniture in the lobby and guest lounge is different, adding to the eclectic feel of the space. Eight guest rooms further the public areas' contemporary theme, with bright colors and artistic details. We loved Room Eight, which has a private sitting room that's flooded with natural light, muted, soothing pink tones, a gas fireplace with a tiled hearth, and a firm, comfortable bed. In the morning a tapas-style breakfast, included in the room rate, has everything from frittatas to chilled oats to honey-roasted pineapple." - Joe Ricchio, Alexandra Hall
