Longfellow Hotel

Some of the best moments in a stay happen in between the plans, with nowhere to be. Warm water running, and a little extra time to unwind.

The Longfellow turns two today 🤍

Since opening our doors, we’ve been inspired by the guests, neighbors, and all the moments that have brought our spaces to life. To celebrate this milestone, we’re honoring Portland’s literary spirit with our annual Haiku Contest.

Throughout the month of May, hotel guests are invited to submit a haiku inspired by their stay. At the end of the month, we’ll share our finalists and invite you to vote for your favorite.

Here’s to two years of hospitality, poetry, and the stories still to come.

Voting is now open for the Condé Nast Traveler 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards 🗳️ Voters from the US and UK could win an unforgettable 15-day Viking voyage through the British Isles.

If The Longfellow made your time in Portland feel a little more memorable, we’d be grateful for your vote. Every story shared by our guests helps shine a light on independent places like ours, and the people who bring them to life.

Voting closes June 30, 2026

For Seaweed Week (April 24–May 3), we’re serving Oysters + Nori Mignonette: six local oysters, chilled and dressed in our housemade mignonette with nori, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, shallots, cucumber, and sesame seeds.

Seaweed Week celebrates one of Maine’s most abundant coastal ingredients, bringing harvesters, chefs, and curious diners together from ocean to table, and we’re thrilled to be part of it alongside our friends across the city.

Come taste what the coast has been keeping. 🌊

April carries its own kind of poetry here in Portland, with longer days, softer light, and a quiet invitation to slow down.

At The Longfellow, we’re celebrating Literary Month in honor of National Poetry Month, with a nod to stories in all their forms. From pages that transport to essays that linger, it’s a time to settle in, stay curious, and rediscover the pleasure of a good book.

Throughout the month, you’ll find thoughtful touches around the hotel, small, unexpected moments designed to delight and inspire. And on April 16, we’ll gather for Sips & Stories (see our pinned post for details).

Consider this your invitation to read, reflect, and stay awhile. Visit our blog to learn more, and follow along here as Literary Month unfolds.

March is International Sleep Month, and at The Longfellow, we’re marking the occasion with a stay designed entirely around rest.

Our Longfellow x Loftie Sleep Experience transforms your guest room into a thoughtfully curated sleep sanctuary, complete with Loftie's most beloved tools for better rest—including sleep masks, mouth tape, Dark Dots, sleep supplements, and calming room spray to take home, plus in-room touches like the Loftie lamp, night light, and signature alarm clock.

Extend the ritual of rest throughout the hotel: head to for a sleep-focused spa treatment, or sip the Amarelle at —a melatonin-rich, non-alcoholic functional cocktail crafted with tart cherry, green tea, and orange blossom to ease you gently into the night.

Join us this March and experience sleep, intentionally 🤍💤

We're honored to be on the ballot for the Travel + Leisure 2026 World’s Best Awards. If The Longfellow has been a part of your travel story, now’s the perfect time to share it.
