The Best Hotels in Portland, by the Record

Portland has sent exactly one place into the record so far: West End Inn, honored by Michelin Guide.

Categories

  1. A six-room B&B tucked into a stately red-brick Georgian house in Portland's quieter, more residential West End. The rooms are handsome and distinct, the décor classic without feeling like a period piece, and the cooked-to-order breakfast is a proper morning. An automated wine bar is an odd and welcome touch, and afternoon cheese boards keep things civilized. Downtown is a short walk northeast when you need it.
