The Press Hotel is a part of the Autograph Collection, an ensemble of independent hotels united by Marriott International.

This Collection includes properties of quality, bold originality, and rich character, and uncommon details. Each Autograph Collection hotel is fueled by a clear vision, soul, and story. Across the globe, these properties are driven by devotion. Our inclusion is a point of pride. Guests of The Press Hotel earn points in Marriott Rewards.

Magnificently reborn, The Press Hotel is proudly rooted in Portland’s past. The structure we call home was once the Gannett Building, the historic headquarters of the Portland Press Herald—the state’s largest newspaper. While the days of printing presses may be over, we continue to honor our history with thoughtful touches. Be on the lookout for typewriters at every turn, artistic nods to typesetting, and quotes from Maine literary luminaries.

With seven floors housing 110 guest rooms and a gorgeous penthouse, a fitness and recreation center, and UNION – our on-site restaurant – you are sure to love your stay here at The Press Hotel.

The Press Hotel’s historic digs boast oversized windows in every guest room that bathe you in abundant natural light. Go ahead: open them up, breathe in the fresh Maine air, exhale your troubles, and repeat.

All of our 110 guestrooms include: premium cable-equipped HDTVs, mini Bluetooth®-compatible stereo systems, Bigelow® bath amenities, mini-fridges, in-room safes, Keurig® coffee makers, and literary one-liners in the most unexpected places.

We keep a finger on the pulse of the remarkable city we call home. The Press Hotel is proud to be at the heart of Portland, Maine.

Hotel was luxurious for the price point and in a great location, right at the corner of Old Port Portland. The corner room was on the smaller side but well appointed. One overnight concierge (Alex I believe) was very helpful and friendly. The other staff member during check-in was less welcoming and did not acknowledge Platinum Elite Status.

It is not a cheap place, likely not the cheapest in the area. However, it is nice. The corner rooms feel much more like an apartment than a hotel. From valet to check in to room all was way above average. The burger at the bar is also very good.

Loved our stay here in late January for weekend getaway. Staff were all super friendly. Decor is really fun (especially if you’re a nerd for graphic design!). I was worried about the fire station nearby but think the guest rooms face the other direction so no issues there. Coffee bar is great. Had a Bloody Mary at Union restaurant downstairs where the bartender was super friendly and gave us great local recommendations!

From booking to check out, easily one of the best hospitality experiences I can recall having. Interactions with staff were unfailingly marked by courtesy, respect, and a genuine impression that guest satisfaction is priority one. Found my go-to Portland hotel...stay here, and you will, too.

Great stay at The Press Hotel. Best Sausage and Egg sandwich ever at The Inkwell. Rooms are lovely. Best features: soaking tub, waterfall shower, crisp sheets, wet bar and The Inkwell food.

Beautiful place in a beautiful small city with an old school newsroom theme (I'm dork so I think it's cool 😎). Rooms are cozy, and they offer standard upscale amenities. There's a restaurant and cocktail bar, but haven't tried them yet. Service was good.

My new favorite hotel in Portland! Feels like a 5 Star hotel, with a unique history and a super creative design! Very comfortable beds and clean rooms. Front desk and restaurant service was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent (we had the steel cut oatmeal and a traditional eggs, toast and potatoes plate).
