Property Description
The Press Hotel, located on the corner of Exchange and Congress Streets in the Old Port District, features 110 thoughtfully appointed luxury guestrooms, including a Penthouse Suite with rooftop access and 360-degree views of the city; four private function rooms and is home to UNION, its 65-seat restaurant by Head Chef, Christian Bassett. Each guestroom has design inspired by a 1920s writer's office including a vintage-styled journalist desk, playful newsroom references throughout and floor to ceiling marble bathrooms. An iconic front-desk "letterpress art wall" welcomes guests to its front desk and to its Inkwell lobby bar featuring hand crafted cocktails. The hotel also has an Art Gallery featuring local artists works, open to the public, which also includes a two story signature installation piece of vintage typewriters called the SWARM, to depict the chaos of a newsroom.

The Press Hotel is a very nice hotel; clean, modern, upscale. But I found the valuer for the money was lacking. The food in their restaurant, Union, was above average but the prices were too high for what you got. Breakfast for two (one order of oatmeal and one order of a smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese) came to $44, and with a 20% tip thrown in the meal cost $53. For breakfast! My dinner the night before was similar; very tasty food, but not worth the $125 price for two people. If you don't mind spending lots of $$, it's a great hotel with excellent service and nice rooms.

A well conceived and thoughtfully decorated hotel paying tribute to the history of the building it calls home: friendly and welcoming staff, nicely appointed rooms with an attention to quality, and a good location in downtown Portland. It would be nice if some sort of coffee and tea service was provided in the room, or at least a hot water kettle; also that the breakfast doesn’t start until 7:30 makes for less flexibility in the morning—though my meal was quite tasty and with expeditious service. I would happily stay here again.

The Press Hotel has a great, calming boutique hotel feel in the perfect Portland location. You can walk to everything - tons of restaurants, cute shops, every donut shop, the Old Port, etc., etc. I was upgraded to a huge high ceiling-ed corner room that despite the reviews warning against being near the firehouse side of the building, was very quiet. The staff were all attentive and the free coffee & tea in the lobby each morning was a bonus, as was the Union restaurant, which was so good I ate there twice during a week-long stay. Kudos to the valet parking team who were all an extremely welcoming & friendly interaction at the front door every day. Highly recommended - I'd stay again in a second!

Room was very comfortable and well kept. The bed and pillows were amazing. Staff was helpful in recommending restaurants and areas to walk. Location is close to the waterfront. Lots of great restaurants and shops. Valet was efficient and friendly. Very welcoming.

The Press is a very convenient hotel stay for an event at the Merrell Auditorium, in this case Star Wars and the Portland Symphony Orchestra. Quiet and very comfortable rooms with a great shower. Excellent stay and efficient valet service at both ends. Good restaurant on site. The hotel has easy access to I-95.
