By Jacqueline Dole, Travel + Leisure
If you’ve ever wanted to try living in one of downtown Portland’s best neighborhoods, the Old Port, this is the place to do it. The Docent’s Collection offers a handful of loft-style apartments, complete with kitchens. Jordan Nugent, director of travel and events with Experience Maine, says, “I love The Docent’s Collection because it feels more like apartments, each with its own kitchen and living area, located in the heart of the Old Port. It’s great for larger groups traveling together or longer stays.”
