Blind Tiger Portland – Danforth Street.

Set in an 1823 Federalist-style mansion that once served as a Prohibition-era speakeasy, Blind Tiger Danforth Street balances its storied past with a spirited, modern design. The nine guestrooms are each dedicated to a local Portland creative, featuring a textured mix of vintage pieces and bold contemporary decor. The property functions more like a private residence than a standard hotel; the basement speakeasy now serves as a billiards room, and the original cupola offers a quiet perch for views over Portland Harbor. Instead of a formal lobby, guests gather in the sunporch or the living room, where wood-burning fireplaces stay lit through the cooler months. The pantry is kept stocked with local snacks and baked goods, maintaining the easygoing, social atmosphere of a historic "Social Corners" estate.
