“A whimsical and well put together printing press themed hotel, in the old headquarters of Portland’s Press Herald. The interiors feature ancient type writers, type print carpets and wallpaper and beautiful artworks by local artists. The restaurant stands out as remarkable even in this foodie town. ”

"Sometimes a hotel is more than just a place to stay. Sometimes, it's the spiritual heart of a neighborhood, a mix of history and aspiration that captures the best energies of the present."
