The Best Hotels Near Papi, by the Record
-
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.

A block from one of Southern Maine's most beloved sandy beaches, this Colonial Revival inn in Scarborough's small waterfront district sits twenty minutes shy of Portland. Guest rooms lean hard into seaside style, with vibrant colors and vintage postcard illustrations, while the details stay modern boutique. The on-site restaurant, Shade, serves oysters and fresh seafood on a covered porch with wine on draft.
