15 Best Hotels in Portland, Maine

"Occupying a Federal-style mansion built in 1823, Blind Tiger is the newest addition to Portland’s historic West End—note the proximity to the Old Port—and one of the newest openings from the Lark hotel group. Every room is different, influenced by its own local “host” who goes so far as to write personalized welcome letters. Looking for a  decadent, food- and drink-based experience in town? Choose the luxurious Bon Viveur suite (which also has a private roof deck). Seeking out great local music and want a room with décor and content inspired by prominent local artists? Go for the Event Records suite. Location, attention to detail, and loads of local touches make Blind Tiger one of the coolest stays in town." - Joe Ricchio, Alexandra Hall
