The Francis Hotel - A restored 1881 Victorian Gothic mansion with boutique rooms and spa in Portland's Arts District
Housed in a historic red brick mansion designed by architect Francis Fassett, this Portland hotel features 15 uniquely styled rooms blending period details with modern furnishings. The Francis pairs preserved Victorian elements like leaded glass windows with custom-built contemporary furniture and local artwork. Located in the West End arts district, the property offers a spa providing massage treatments, complimentary parking, and welcome drinks on arrival. Guest rooms include amenities like Turkish towel robes, Cuddledown duvets, pour-over coffee stations, and wall-mounted HDTVs. The Francis sits steps from Congress Street, with the Portland Museum of Art and numerous restaurants within walking distance.

“The Francis strikes me as a Portland gem: a boutique hotel in a restored 1880s mansion that sidesteps stuffiness with its curated local art and welcome glass of blueberry wine. I appreciate that it's dog-friendly without sacrificing its charm and luxury linens. Plus, complimentary concierge service via text feels like a modern touch that respects the building's history.”
