The Mercury

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

"Set on a tree-lined residential street in the Parkside neighborhood, this 1890s Victorian converted to a B&B (and renovated in 2019) pairs artsy, offbeat interiors with an apartment-like layout: four suites each with a living room, bedroom, and en-suite bathroom plus shared kitchenettes on each floor. I found the modern, mythologically inspired design (named for the Roman god Mercury by co-owners Tim Karu and Jacob Krueger) attracts tattooed couples, creative professionals, and small groups, while enforcing a strict over-18 guest policy that keeps the vibe youthful and adult-focused." - Alexandra Hall, Joe Ricchio
