"The Portland Harbor Hotel has undergone a major update since opening in 2002, giving it a decidedly more modern personality and nautical vibes. In keeping with the theme in the public spaces, guest rooms have a seafaring thing going on. This is a hotel to book if you want to be in the center of everything in Portland. It's in tourist central in the Old Port, which means you're just down the street from the city's best restaurants and bars." - Joe Ricchio, Alexandra Hall

"The Old Port district is the most picturesque corner of downtown Portland, its cobblestone streets lined with classic red-brick warehouses. Portland Harbor Hotel stands at one end of the Fore Street strip, and its rooms lean in to the hotel’s nautical inspiration, but tastefully so, lending character, not kitsch, to its contemporary-classic interiors. Many bathrooms include large soaking tubs, and some suites come with whirlpool baths, and some with fireplaces. BlueFin, the restaurant, serves a straightforward selection of fresh North Atlantic seafood, and more casual options abound, starting just a few yards from the hotel’s front door." - Tablet Hotels
