Loved by guests
"My large room on the second floor had 12' ceilings, 3 narrow but tall windows, a bathroom with sink and toilet."
"The art and decor and tasteful lobby furniture raised the hotel up many notches from most other boutique hotels I've stayed at."
"We stayed in the Bramhall suite and it was even better than advertised online!"
The Francis Hotel - A restored Victorian mansion with period detailing and modern amenities in Portland's arts district
Originally designed in 1881 by architect Francis Fassett, this red brick Victorian Gothic mansion in Portland's West End now houses 15 uniquely decorated rooms featuring Mid-Century Modern furniture and local artwork. This 5-star Portland hotel preserves historic elements like leaded glass windows while incorporating contemporary comforts. Guest rooms offer custom-built furniture, Turkish towel robes, Cuddledown duvets, and wall-mounted HDTVs. The property provides complimentary amenities including parking, welcome drinks, and daily breakfast at Twinflower Cafe. Located steps from Congress Street's cultural attractions, The Francis features an on-site spa offering massage therapies. Pet-friendly accommodations are available in four ground-floor rooms.

“This hotel understands Portland's charm. It's a refreshingly local experience, with artful design and the kind of personalized service you'd expect from a smaller, thoughtfully run place; a welcome drink and easy texting concierge feel right for a modern boutique hotel that embraces its historic bones.”
