Fun hotel decor

13 days ago

Some of you know I enjoy unusual hotel decor…I don’t think I’ve posted about this one before? We are at the Press Hotel in Portland ME. We have stayed here once or twice before.


Stairs by the lobby.




Typewriter cases.



Reception desk.




Love these flowers.



And our room.



From what I can tell, this is a carpet remnant in a frame.

    Ooh, love The Press. When we are in town for dinner, we often get a drink in their bar. They make a great Paper Plane.

    Looks somewhat like a topo map.


    I’m glad you’re having such a relaxing vacation. Peak autumn foliage — winding down.

    Very cool. I especially like the typewriter cases, haven’t seen one of those in a long time.

    Thanks for sharing!

    One more!



    Not sure this rates as a vacation — just a weekend away to visit DD. They have a great new apt but it isn’t big enough for mom and dad to stay!

    Been there, it is super cute. @localeater -- Paper Plane?

    Living in earthquake country, that stairwell is the things nightmares are made of! But the decor is really fun and you just have to wonder how many younger people visit who've never even seen a typewriter!

    So clever! I still have a portable typewriter somewhere. Maybe they’d want it. Have a great weekend.

    @mtnrdredux_gw a Paper Plane is a yummy cocktail that, in my opinion, tastes like pink grapefruit juice. It’s equal parts bourbon, amaro nonnino, aperol, and lemon juice. Shake well, and strain.

    Very eye-catching and fun. I wonder, is there a connection to typewriter history in Portland? Enjoy the visit with your DD.

    I would fall in love with a place that put such thought into their decor. It’s whimsical and fun. Have a great visit.

    Bonus — not a great pic, but there was a wedding at city hall across the street yesterday afternoon. I watched the groom waiting at the top of the steps, bride’s arrival in a black SUV…sweet.

    I bought a used manual typewriter for my grandson when he was young. He and his friends who came for playdates loved to type on it. I keep wanting to donate or sell it now, but he wants me to keep it for him.

    Keep it for your gson, oly. When my husband’s newspaper went to electric typewriters a long long time ago-50 or 55 years ago-he brought home his old typewriter. All our kids and gkids have learned to type on it and had fun learning. We’ve tried to guess how many stories and essays have been written on it in all these years but really have no idea. Even Hub still uses it sometimes. It’s a real treasure in our house. Your gson will have fond stories to tell his kids some day.
