A luxe boutique in Portland, land of the lighthouse

Nestled in the heart of Portland’s bustling local community, discover the tranquillity of The Francis Hotel. Owned and operated by fourth generation Mainers, the exquisitely renovated historic mansion is the perfect base to explore the city, or to re-energise in the coastal breeze.

Inside The Francis Hotel, expect quintessential, historic charm – perfectly complemented with modern amenities. With age comes beauty, so no two rooms have the same story. Each has unique, characterful elements lovingly restored during the hotel’s latest renovation. Boasting features like a grand Seth Thomas clock and Victorian-tiled foyer, The Francis Hotel not only promises a relaxing stay but invites you into the heart of Portland’s rich history and vibrant culture. The hotel’s 24/7 concierge team can help you to find local spots to eat, or you can head right next door to the Wayside Tavern. Here, settle down in a cosy corner to graze on small plates or dig into a hearty meal.

Outside of the hotel, Portland’s got it all. Spend hours mesmerised in Portland Museum of Art. Explore the Old Port – rambling down cobbled streets and dipping into coffee shops. And visit Portland Head Light, with far-reaching views across the Casco Bay to Peaks Island and Diamond Cove. Once you’re all adventured out, return to The Francis for a well-deserved rest.

Enjoy your stay!
