Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

"Why did this hotel catch your attention?Located in the Old Port and housed in a 19th century armory, the Regency is well-known in Portland. Though it has been updated, the building still boasts many unique, historic architectural features, with lots dark wood and warm-toned colors. Tell us about your room. What made it stand out?Our Regency Suite was spacious and comfortable, if a bit dated, with a huge (non-working) fireplace that set the tone. The bathroom had a jet massage shower, a two-person Jacuzzi tub, and Molton Brown toiletries. The comfortable and amply sized bed had soft linens and a comfy mattress. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?Wi-Fi is free. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?The Armory Lounge makes one of the best classic martinis in the city, and the long-tenured staff is friendly and consistent. The hotel's Italian restaurant, 20 Milk Street, has been newly renovated, and there's an al fresco garden café in the courtyard. And the service? Service is helpful and attentive. What about the neighborhood? What's here?You're in the heart of the Old Port, with everything that has to offer in terms of food, drink and shopping (as well as crowds during the warmer months). Bottom line: Worth it? Why?Though pricey in summer, the Regency enjoys one of the best locations in Portland, and the corner suites are a great value—they're absolutely enormous." - Joe Ricchio
