The Press Hotel, Marriott Autograph Collection  

In the heart of downtown Portland’s Old Port, steps from Casco Bay and the waterfront. Walk to Salt Gallery, Merrill Auditorium, Monument Square and Cross Insurance Arena in minutes.

This design-forward, luxury downtown hotel channels a 1920s writer’s office with vintage journalist desks, a letterpress art wall and a public art gallery featuring a two-story vintage-typewriter installation. Rooms feature pillowtop beds with Frette sheets, floor-to-ceiling marble bathrooms with rainfall showers, minibars and thoughtful in-room touches. A Penthouse Suite offers rooftop access and 360-degree city views.

Stay active in the fitness center or relax by the lobby fireplace and garden. Two bars — including an Inkwell lobby bar with handcrafted cocktails — a coffee shop/cafe and limited room service keep things easy. Complimentary wireless internet, concierge, parking and family-friendly features like a children’s playroom round out the essentials.

Five meeting rooms and private function space for events. Complimentary wireless internet and concierge services support business travel, plus express check-out and luggage storage for quick departures.

UNION, the on-site 65-seat restaurant, serves American fare for brunch, lunch and dinner. Grab coffee or a snack at the cafe, enjoy full breakfasts (fee) and unwind at one of two bars or with limited-hour room service.
