One of Maine’s most historic hotels may build a 2,200-square-foot addition atop its roof, while what may be one of the state’s newest inns is refining plans for a rooftop structure of its own.
The 93-year-old Westin Portland Harborview Hotel is proposing to build two outdoor patios adjoining its Top of the East Lounge, 15 stories above Congress Square in downtown Portland. The proposal goes to a public hearing Wednesday before the Portland Historic Preservation Board in the city’s first look at the project.
At the same meeting, the board is scheduled to discuss modifications to a planned rooftop lounge at the 135-room Canopy by Hilton Hotel, now under construction at the corner of Center and Commercial streets. Hilton and the hotel’s developer, Portland-based Fathom Cos., are already promoting Luna, the indoor-outdoor bar with a seventh-floor terrace, as “a first for the city.”
