Marvel at the Portland Regency Hotel & Spa’s many unique fireplaces, turreted corners, and odd-shaped windows. The distinct, red-brick building was once the State of Maine Armory and displays the late-19th-century architectural style known as Romanesque Revival.

Discover the heart of the Old Port District in Portland, Maine. Wander through a variety of specialty shops, galleries, and restaurants that have been converted from warehouses and commercial buildings in the area’s historic maritime neighborhood. The hotel sits on Boothbay Square, a cobblestoned public square which still features a watering trough installed in 1902 to supply water for horses.

Take in stunning views of Portland Harbor just beyond the hotel’s front door. The Portland Regency Hotel & Spa is only a couple of blocks away from the most active parts of the city’s historic seaport. The state’s coastal fishing communities included the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Maliseet, and Mi’kmaq, who lived off the bounty of Casco Bay. The state’s coastal fishing communities later included Scotch-Irish, Germans, and migrants from southern New England who depended on the sea in this coastal frontier from the early-17th to the early 19th-centuries.
