Longfellow Hotel
New England minimalism meets Scandinavian wellness. Residential in feel, not corporate. Quiet, intentional, and built around sleep and restoration. The design is restrained without being cold — mosaic tile floors, custom granite vanities, Swans Island blankets, Loftie alarm clocks. Feels like a very well-edited friend's apartment on a historic street.

Why It Matters
First independent full-service hotel in Portland in two decades. Sleep Wise Consulting certified the rooms for optimal rest. Astraea Spa is the only spa in New England to feature the VOYA organic seaweed product line. Single-use plastics are entirely eliminated throughout the property. Rooms are double-drywalled for sound insulation.
The Longfellow is Portland's first independent full-service hotel to open in 20 years — a 48-room wellness boutique on Congress Street in the West End, named for the city's most beloved poet. Designed by Brooklyn firm Post Company (the same team behind Inness and the Lake House on Canandaigua), the interiors lean hard into New England minimalism: wide-plank hardwood floors, lime-washed walls, intricate mosaic tile, pine accents, and a judicious amount of navy. Owned by brothers Nate and Tony DeLois of Uncommon Hospitality, it opened in spring 2024 and promptly landed on Travel + Leisure's It List, Town & Country's global Hotel Awards, and #6 in the Northeast in Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Corner King Room
Corner rooms ranging from 326–343 sq ft. The wrap-around window placement gives extra light and slightly more spacious feel than a standard room.
King
Evangeline Suite
The hotel's flagship suite and largest room at 587 sq ft. Thoughtfully designed for relaxation and indulgence, with a separate living area. Named after Longfellow's epic poem.
King
Gabriel Suite
A 500 sq ft suite with a warm, residential feel. Includes a soaking tub and separate living area. The accessible version of this suite is 418 sq ft.
King
Grand Standard Room
308–330 sq ft king room. The go-to mid-tier option — a solid step up from the entry Standard Room with a more generous layout.
King
Grand Standard Room with Back Cove Views
Same 308–330 sq ft footprint as the Grand Standard, but oriented toward the Back Cove for water views. A meaningful upgrade for the same size room.
King
Standard Room
Entry-level king rooms at 250–278 sq ft. Compact but well-designed — the double drywall insulation means the smaller space still sleeps beautifully. Good value in the context of this property.
King
Standard Room with Balcony
258–278 sq ft king room with a private balcony. The balcony is the standout feature — a private outdoor perch above Congress Street.
King
Standard Room with Desk
A 283 sq ft king room designed specifically for those who need to work. Inspired by the hotel's literary namesake — marketed toward writers and remote workers.
