"Made up of what are essentially modern luxury apartments located, The Docent’s Collection opened quietly and is one of Portland's best kept secrets. The “rooms” have high-tech amenities like touchscreen, stainless steel appliances in fully equipped kitchens, but there are plenty of restaurants right around the corner. It's got all the amenities of a hotel combined with the feel of home, and is close to the best of what Portland has to offer." - Joe Ricchio, Alexandra Hall

I would love to keep this gem to myself! I had the pleasure of staying 2 times, both experiences were delightful. ||The apartment style rooms, which are centrally located, are well appointed, tastefully decorates, and super clean.||The staff was easygoing and quick to respond. Avery and Britnee r made sure that the stay was perfect. What a team! Thank you team for a job worthy of praise. ||The Docents is now the only place on my list when traveling to Portland.

This is a great stay for small group or couples traveling together. We had the most wonderful experience! The beds were incredibly comfy and the bathroom/shower was a dream. The concierge service was so helpful and it was very easy to leave our bags with them until our room was ready. We will definitely be staying here again when we return to Portland!

We stayed in a one bedroom loft in the Thompson Block on the third floor. The place was clean, quiet and comfortable. There’s restaurants and shops within walking distance. We didn’t use the kitchen to “cook” but it was wonderful for coffee, snacks and warming up the leftovers. The loft could comfortably accommodate a family of four.

We can't say enough about how much we loved staying here. It so quickly felt like our own apartment, and the location was perfect. Our unit was stocked with everything we could need and more. Communication and customer service was top-notch, as well. We will absolutely be back!

What a fantastic stay! The loft was beautifully done, clean and so many amenities we would need. It was our anniversary and they left us a handwritten note with a GC to the local wine shop! Such a thoughtful gesture! We’ll definitely be back!!

We loved staying here! The location is perfect, and the building is gorgeous. We loved having multiple bathrooms and bedrooms, but being able to stay together. It really elevated our trip. Being able to text with staff was convenient and easy.

Beautiful loft in Old Port. Modern amenities and incredibly clean. I proposed to my girlfriend this trip, and they upgraded us from a studio to a 2BR! The loft has a fully functional kitchen that we used to prepare meals. We will be returning in the future.

Great downtown location with modern and very clean spaces. We rented 2, 1-bedroom lofts and were not disappointed. The parking situation is not ideal in an alleyway next to the property but still a great stay if you want to be downtown near all the restaurants and attractions.
