The Longfellow Hotel | 754 Congress Street | Portland

Portlander said:
The Portland Regency which is traditionally the most expensive hotel downtown is $475-520 during the same period in September. The Longfellow Hotel is next door to a bakery and closest to Maine Med if that counts for anything.

Not anymore with the Regency (it has odors, or that "old building smell"). The top hotels now are the Press and Canopy. But it depends on demand, of course. Last summer during the July 4th period the Holiday Inn "By the Bay" listed rooms for $1,000 a night! The aforementioned hotels would have been a lot higher than that, but they had been booked out months in advance. The Longfellow will get their asking price, but soon as November hits, way, way down, but back up Memorial Day Weekend.

Welcoming guests in three months?
 
Making very slow progress on this one. Looks like they've pushed reservations back to March 1, 2024.
 
"first independently owned full-service hotel [since the Portland harbor Hotel in 2002]" has an awful lot of qualifiers. Does the Press Hotel not qualify because of its membership in Autograph Collection?

But an electric luxury car service to take you anywhere within 3 miles.... Libbytown for Tony's Donuts and Anania's Italians, anyone?
 
The Longfellow Hotel bar is nice, though this one in Portland had been my favorite... (completely re-done now)

Interesting they went with an i7 and not an SUV
 
Are those functioning Italian style balconies or simply a superficial visual? The North End has many. It's where the grandmas snoop and lean out to watch the children play in the street. They are your de facto security detail.
