- FreebiesThis stay includes Wi-Fi and Parking for free
A boutique hotel- nestled inside the Parkside neighbourhood of Portland- Maine- The Francis Hotel is the perfect spot for a restful break or as a base to explore the local area. The team behind the hotel are fourth generation Mainers- who have lovingly renovated the mansion to create a restful retreat. Each room effortlessly combines restored historical characteristics with modern amenities for a refined- comfortable stay. Plus each room features art from local photographer- Nicole Wolf- bringing contemporary touches of creativity. For a little self care- head to The Spa for a session of restorative relaxation. Treatments include hot stone massage and aromatherapy- or for the ultimate in tranquillity- a full spa treatment. When it comes to food- head next door to the Wayside Tavern for an afternoon grazing on small plates curled up with a good book- or an evening meal with loved ones. Or go further afield. Thanks to a trusted list carefully curated by the 24/7 concierge team exploring local destinations is simple. The hotel can also help with dining in the comfort of your room- organising anything from breakfast in bed to charcuterie boards to be delivered to your door. When it comes to stepping out- head out to Presumpscot River Preserve where you can hike the river side trails or cool off with a dip in the river. Art lovers should make a beeline for Portland Museum of Art- or Maine Museum of Photographic arts. But it would not be a trip to Portland without visiting a lighthouse. From the iconic Portland Head Light and Bud Light to Ram Island Ledge in Casco Bay- there are plenty to choose from. And they are all equally photo worthy. The Francis is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
