Your guide to the best hotel in Portland, Maine
Longfellow Hotel Portland · ParksideWe list one hotel here: the Longfellow from 221 €.One house in Portland, Maine – and who it suits
First, because it regularly causes confusion: this is Portland, Maine, on the Atlantic. The other, larger Portland is in Oregon on the Pacific, some 4,000 kilometres west – our six houses there are on a separate page.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThe Longfellow stands on Congress Street, the long axis running from the Arts District to the edge of the old town; the API records the location as Parkside. It is a small house with eleven room categories, three of them suites – not a hotel machine but an address you know after two days. If you want Old Port and the harbour on foot without sleeping in the middle of the nightlife, this is the right spot.
Our travel advisors' insider tip
The most important planning point is not in the rate: the Longfellow requires a minimum stay of two nights. A single overnight stop on the way up the coast will not work here – and that is exactly the kind of request Portland, Maine otherwise attracts. Budget the second night from the start; it pays for itself anyway, because the Casco Bay island ferries take half a day. Give us your dates and we check availability for the whole period rather than for one night.
Where to stay in Portland, Maine: Old Port, the Arts District and Parkside
Portland is small enough to do almost everything on foot – the peninsula between the Fore River and Back Cove measures only a few blocks in each direction.
Old Port
The quarter on the water: cobblestones, nineteenth-century brick warehouses, oyster bars, the ferry terminals to the Casco Bay islands. In the evening this is where it happens.
Arts District and Congress Street
The axis across the peninsula, with the Portland Museum of Art, bookshops and cafés. Quieter than Old Port, never dead.
Parkside
The western stretch of Congress Street, residential and unhurried – this is where the Longfellow (221 €) stands.
For orientation: Portland (PWM) airport lies west of the city; most guests from Europe, however, arrive via Boston and cover the last stretch by car or bus.
Rooms and suites at the Longfellow
The Longfellow lists eleven room categories, three of them suites – the Suite, the Gabriel Suite and the Evangaline Suite.
Unusual for a house this size: every one of the eleven categories carries a floor area, from 26 to 55 sqm. On most pages in our portfolio not even half are measured; here you can compare precisely before booking instead of relying on category names.
With views the house is restrained: six categories carry City View, a single one a Bay View over Casco Bay. If you want to look at the water you have to hit that one line – tell us early, it goes quickly.
Two categories explicitly list a balcony. That, too, is a line you have to ask for.
What a stay in Portland, Maine costs
The Longfellow sits at 221 € per night. There is no price range on this page because we list exactly one house – the figure is the entry rate, not an average across several addresses.
Count on at least two nights: the house requires a minimum stay of two nights. For budgeting that matters more than the nightly rate.
The best time is late summer into October: warm enough for the water, and October brings the foliage New England is known for. Winter is cold and snowy – the city carries on, but the island ferries and part of the harbour dining scale back.
You do not earn points or status here: the Longfellow belongs to no chain and no loyalty programme. The suitespot benefits apply regardless – they rest on our partnership with the house, not on a programme.
Lobster, lighthouses and exclusive services
What our travel advisors arrange most often in Portland: the day on the water and the day on the coast. From the Old Port terminals the ferries run to the islands of Casco Bay – a round trip takes half a day and is the best way to see the city from outside. South of town the Portland Head Light is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the United States.

Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comIn town: the Portland Museum of Art, the oyster bars of Old Port and the lobster shacks on the wharf, where it helps to know which ones are currently good. We book the tables before you arrive – in season that is not a formality.
For a longer excursion: the coast north towards Camden and Acadia.
On the suitespot benefits this house is narrower than the big chains, but dependable: breakfast for two, an upgrade chance subject to availability, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability, free wifi and a hotel credit of 50 USD. A welcome gift is not part of it here, and the credit sits below the 100 USD that larger houses in our portfolio give – we would rather print the real figure. We register your VIP status before arrival and ask for the Bay View category if it is free.
