The Bar/Lounge at Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

"A big draw is the full-service spa with a beautiful blue-green-tiled hot tub, saunas, steams rooms, lounges, and an array of massage and other treatments, including a bamboo body polish, an organic seaweed wrap, and eyelash tinting"

"The small health club is one of the best in town (it includes a sauna and hot tub), and the downstairs level conceals a restaurant and a lounge"

"There are a few stand-out features, including the central location, spa and fitness center, and the popular Armory Lounge"

"The spa is a nice touch; there's also a fitness center, a restaurant and a pub-like lounge"

"All have quality reproduction furniture, good soundproofing, thermostats, minibars, free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs"

"Designed to evoke a library, the lounge is a hot spot for happy hour — ask for the gratis plate of pretzels and pub cheese — and serves a casual menu for lunch and dinner"
