The Top 11 Hotels Near Flux Restaurant
-
An 1880s inn restored to deliberate simplicity—no screens, no phones, only ferry access and park-lodge common rooms—where the rooms themselves surprise with vintage furnishings and local art. The restaurant, helmed by a Portland chef, builds each plate from island lobster, mussels, and farm produce in a way that makes the isolation feel like the point.
-
A restored 1823 Federal house on a lively Danforth Street corner, where Lark Hotels' renovation has preserved the building's bones while layering in contemporary comfort and a convivial spirit. The name nods to the Prohibition speakeasy once hidden in its basement—a small historical wink that fits the place's unhurried, decidedly Portland temperament.
-
A six-room guest house in a quiet residential pocket, appointed with vintage furnishings and local art, that somehow balances intimacy with genuine warmth. Lark Hotels' sensibility runs through it—small enough to feel like a friend's place, open enough that you want to linger in the common rooms.
-
The Press Hotel occupies a 1923 corner building in Portland's Old Port that once housed the Press Herald, its brick facade and vintage details now framing a 110-room refuge for guests drawn to genuine newspaper history rather than theme-park pastiche. The lobby's archival references feel earned, not imposed—a place where the conceit matters because the building's own past does.
-
A brick-fronted harbor hotel in Portland's Old Port brings nautical restraint to contemporary rooms, many fitted with soaking tubs and fireplaces overlooking cobblestone streets. BlueFin, its restaurant, commits to the straightforward proposition of fresh North Atlantic seafood without apology or embellishment.
-
Pine forests give way to Atlantic views at this East Boothbay inn, where weathered porches and nautical touches evoke a vanished summer-colony era. Kayaking, schooner sails, and lobster rolls from Adirondack chairs frame days oriented entirely toward Linekin Bay.
-
At Longfellow, a converted Portland landmark, even the room key signals intention—brass, substantial, a thing to hold. The café brews with precision, the spa leans toward healing over indulgence, and Shaker simplicity meets contemporary ease throughout.
-
A contemporary coastal lodge a few minutes from Portland, Inn by the Sea offers rooms with heated floors and gas fireplaces, their luxury felt rather than announced. The sea breeze here is as much the point as the air conditioning, which arrives only as backup.
-
A converted textile mill on the Saco River, the Lincoln Hotel layers exposed brick and soaring ceilings with deft modern and Art Deco touches across its 33 rooms. The on-site restaurant and distillery occupy the ground floor with the ease of a place that knows its bones matter more than its décor.
-
The grounds at Hidden Pond feel weathered by decades, though the main lodge rose from Maine woods only recently, a calculated illusion sustained by careful architecture and restraint. What emerges is a hotel that honors New England's seaside past without the burden of actually living in it.
-
A wraparound-porch landmark freshly revived with bright interiors and a youthful pulse, the Tides Beach Club remains tethered to its beachfront Maine roots. The classic exterior speaks to decades of accumulation; the vibrant new life inside suggests someone finally decided the view deserved company.
