Classic accommodations with a touch of panache, the Pomegranate Inn is a visual treat, a soothing sanctuary and a sophisticated pied-à-terre in the heart of Portland's architecturally distinct Western Promenade. This elegant small hotel has received rave reviews from guests as well as national and regional publications. Eight stunning guestrooms provide luxury and comfort for a romantic get-away, a haven for the business traveler, or a destination for a few days of art, dining and shopping.
The Pomegranate Inn gives guests a sense of peace and privilege. There are fine linens, private baths, modern technology and all the necessities for a stay that is delightful and free from tension.
Sculpture, art, furniture and fabrics combine in a brilliant play of color and texture that startle, amuse, then encourage you to kick back and unwind in this upbeat inn where the goal is to exceed your expectations.
Breakfast at Pomegranate Inn offers a bit of whimsy and sophistication, just like the inn itself. New in 2011, we are offering recipes and cooking by cookbook author, Dana Moos. Dana enjoys creating breakfasts for the eyes and the palate, using fresh produce in imaginative ways, often painting her plates with colorful sauces. Breakfast is included with your stay.
Our goal is to make everything about your experience at the Pomegranate Inn extraordinary. We are at your service to provide whatever you need, from the ordinary to the sublime. Maps, directions, restaurant information, current exhibits, theatre, what not to miss, and the best time to go. We know Portland, and we love to share the ins and outs of this chic little city.

An Inn for All Seasons
- Winter is the best... The city blazes with sparkling lights and gaiety. Snowshoe on Macworth Island, skate on Deering Oaks Pond or join the bustle of shoppers, and museum and gallery goers. Inside, the Inn is a veritable visual treat of holiday glam and glowing fires, a welcome sanctuary for a mug of hot cocoa.
- Spring is the best... The city comes to life with flowering trees in bloom, sailing on the bay, and reading in the Pomegranate Garden becomes a favorite pastime. Celebrate Valentine's Day with a romantic weekend getaway, admire the architecture right outside the door, and take in the view over the western highlands and Portland Harbor.
- Summer is the best... This delicious season is full of sun, balmy evenings and offshore breezes. Explore Casco Bay on the local ferries, bask at the gorgeous beaches, walk downtown for a gourmet dinner, people watch at an outdoor cafe.
- Fall is the best... Ablaze with autumn's extraordinary New England palette, the air is crisp with hints of snow. Catch a play at Portland Stage Company, shop for treasures in the antique shops, stroll the cobbled streets of the Old Port, and sip a hot clove-scented cider.
All seasons are the best... Superb restaurants, theatre and galleries, outdoor activities,
and the perfect home-away-from-home from which to enjoy it all.
Portland offers an astonishing variety of things to do, see, listen to, buy, eat, and experience. Sophisticated or fun, business or not, a stay at the Pomegranate can be calm and restorative or fast-paced and exciting, but it will never be dull.
The Pomegranate is a short walk to the midtown Arts District, with myriad small galleries, as well as the Portland Museum of Art and the Children's Museum of Maine. A short distance farther is the Old Port Exchange, where great restaurants, galleries and shops abound, and the waterfront provides an ever changing backdrop.
