What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Its location at the edge of Old Port makes exploring the waterfront and its superb restaurants and activities ideal, yet also allows folks to hang back from the fray.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Commercial Street runs right past the door, lined with working fish piers, oyster bars, and red-brick warehouses.
The rooms
Waterfront rooms look straight out over the working harbor, decorated with nautical prints from local photographers.
The gym
Peloton bikes and treadmills line the 24-hour gym, and loaner cruiser bicycles are available for exploring the waterfront.
At the table
Salt Yard serves morning espresso and house pastries downstairs, and Luna pours drinks on the sixth-floor terrace overlooking Casco Bay.
How it began
Portland-based Fathom Companies built the hotel in 2021, claiming one of the Old Port's last open waterfront lots.
