About The Hotel

From $315/night — a central, full-service splurge. This is a historic 4.2 hotel in a former armory in the Old Port, with an on-site spa (jacuzzi and sauna) and an unbeatable central location. Best for couples and travelers who want a spa soak, a whisky-bar nightcap, and a walk-everywhere Old Port base in a character-rich building. The location score (4.9) is nearly perfect; guests praise the spacious rooms, friendly staff, and especially the spa — a favorite post-hike retreat. Note that the jacuzzi is in the spa, not the rooms. The Iron Works bar is a highlight, with knowledgeable staff and an impressive bourbon selection.

"We’ve been staying here several times a year for almost six years now, and it never disappoints. The location, charm, and overall ambiance are unbeatable. Valet parking is a huge plus, and the complimentary shuttle service makes getting around Old Port and nearby spots super convenient, no need for Ubers or driving yourself. We were back this October to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and Isaac at the front desk went above and beyond to make our stay special. We honestly won’t stay anywhere else in Portland. This place is always a favorite and definitely worth checking out."

"My husband and I got married this past weekend and chose the Regency mainly because it was across the street from our reception space. It was an amazing experience. We kept Andrew and Muhammed from the valet team busy helping us unload and reload luggage and wedding stuff from our tiny hatchback but they made it seem so easy. Without their help it would have been way more difficult. We also had our rehearsal dinner at the Armory Lounge which was excellent. I highly recommend the brussels sprout and squash salad. We booked the Regency Suite. The jacuzzi tub and waterfall shower were just what we needed to relax after a long day of wedding prep. Overall, just phenomenal."

"Excellent service. Andrew was a great Valet employee, kind, honest and helpful. Room was nice only issue was the toilet in our room 208 took along time to fill up so the noise was slightly annoying. Other then that really great place and would absolutely stay again. FYI read the history on the website of the building. 🇺🇸🇺🇸"
