The Best Hotels in Portland, Maine, for Your Next Coastal Getaway | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located in the Old Port and housed in a 19th-century armory, the Regency retains many original architectural features—dark wood, warm tones, and huge common-area fireplaces—that give it a historic, slightly dated charm. I found the rooms comfortable with large beds and soft linens, bathrooms featuring jet massage showers and two-person Jacuzzi tubs with Molton Brown toiletries, and a standout hotel bar, the Armory Lounge, which crafts martinis to remember; onsite dining includes a renovated Italian restaurant, 20 Milk Street, plus an al fresco garden café in the courtyard." - Alexandra Hall, Joe Ricchio
