The Inn on Carleton is a three-story bed & breakfast set in a restored 1869 Victorian era home in the historic West End district of downtown Portland. The first floor of the building features our gracious dining room and grand front parlor while the second and third floors host the six individually decorated rooms designed around Portland's thriving districts. The inn offers outdoor living space, for in-town Portland, this is quite an unexpected surprise! The patios and gardens offer both guests and owners a beautiful and quiet area in which to relax any time of day. Built in 1869, the Portland Maine Inn on Carleton is the oldest established bed and breakfast in Portland and was featured on This Old House. Many words can describe this grand Victorian Inn but gorgeous, opulent, elegant and comfort are most appropriate. Inn on Carleton offers a stunning color palette, many of which are original to the house, with warm and vibrant colors, soft whites and neutrals and dark mahogany and espresso furniture and all are enhanced by an abundance of beautiful lighting. The hardwood floors are extremely well preserved and maintained. Guest rooms are quite large, have very high ceilings, plenty of light and beautiful furnishings, all with updated en-suite private baths with plenty of amenities. Portland isn't just known for lighthouses, blueberries, and lobster. Indulge at award-winning restaurants and breweries, hit the shopping district, visit the culturally rich historical sites, enjoy the abundant nature, and sight see at the Old Port. Your trip will be anything but ordinary. Award-winning foodie restaurants can be found around every corner and farmers markets run the town. The Arts District, just south of Old Port, is home to world-class art galleries, theaters, museums, and is overflowing with culture, so much that the rest of Portland can't help but reflect the thriving art scene. Portland was named ''Restaurant City of the Year'' by Bon Appetite Magazine in 2018!
