It's the little things that make a Portland summer.

A delicious pastry. Wandering into a shop you didn't plan on visiting. A lobster roll by the water. Staying out a little later because the weather is just too good.

If you've been thinking about a summer visit, there's still time. August is full of those little moments, and we'd love to be part of them ☀️🤍

One of our favorite details in The Francis? The original stained glass doors.

As afternoon light pours through the glass, our foyer takes on a warm glow that has welcomed visitors for generations 🤍

Meet Abigayle! 👋

If you've stayed with us recently, there's a good chance you've already crossed paths with our General Manager, Abigayle Clark. She joined The Francis last year after helping lead our sister property, The Colonial Inn, and we're so lucky to have her here.

Abigayle is one of our go-to resources for everything Portland, and she cares deeply about making every guest feel at home.

When she's not at the hotel, you'll likely find her hanging out with her cat, George, or lacing up her skates with her roller derby team.

Be sure to say hello the next time you're here!
