  • The Brunswick Hotel and Noble Kitchen & Bar Unveil Exciting New Look After Multi-Million Dollar Renovation, New Brand Design

    [ad_1]

    Re-opened in May 2025, the new design elevates the hotel and restaurant for a fresh and modern Midcoast hospitality experience


    BRUNSWICK, Maine, June 11, 2025 (Newswire.com)
    –
    The Brunswick Hotel, a boutique hotel at the heart of Maine’s Midcoast gateway city, and its award-winning restaurant, Noble Kitchen & Bar, are thrilled to announce their grand reopening following an extensive multi-million dollar renovation of the 51 rooms and suites, lobby and common spaces, and a refresh on interiors and outdoor hardscaping facelift on the patio for the restaurant.

    The Renovation + Design
    The hotel re-design was led by award-winning Ealain Studio from Portland, Maine who specialize in hospitality and restaurant projects. The transformative renovation over four months is a complete redesign of the hotel’s interiors, guest rooms, public spaces, and the signature Noble Kitchen & Bar.

    The hotel’s understated elegance, characterized by its gabled front and porch-wrapped building, provided the perfect tableau for the interior design. Situated across from Bowdoin College’s central campus and near the Androscoggin River, the hotel’s new soothing color scheme mirrors the natural beauty of Maine’s mid-coast region.

    Highlights of the Renovation:

    • Art Program: Curated and produced by Erin Hutton Projects, the artwork is a signature element of the hotel’s full transformation, featuring all Maine-based artists

    • Guest Rooms: Redesigned with modern touches, luxurious bedding, smart technology, and a calming coastal palette

    • Lobby and Public Spaces: The hotel’s lobby is updated to create an elegant first impression, with contemporary furnishings and local artwork

    • Noble Kitchen & Bar: The restaurant refresh features a stunning new bar, lighting and an improved outdoor patio and landscaping – one of Brunswick’s only al fresco dining areas with cozy fire elements and outdoor bar.

    • New Branding and Website: A new logo and digital redesign for the hotel and restaurant, www.thebrunswickhotel.com and www.noblekitchenbar.com

    Noble Kitchen & Bar

    New Executive Chef Ken Burkett and Food & Beverage Manager Lauren Williamson have relaunched the restaurant’s menu to reflect a refined seasonality with dishes that are craveable and familiar-casual. Classics like the Locals Burger and Noble Fries, Bangs Island Mussels, Clam Chowder, Fish & Chips are joined by newcomers to the menu like Artichoke Dip, Lobster Risotto Cakes, Ramp Fettuccine and Clams, Hanger Steak and Pan Seared Scallops with spring vegetables. Fresh salads, desserts and a robust summer cocktails and wine list round out the new dining experience, which includes al fresco seating options on the refurbished and re-landscaped patio.

    A New Era for Brunswick Hospitality

    “There’s a transformative energy happening in Brunswick and this hotel and restaurant are at the heart of it. From our new logos and websites to fresh room and restaurant design, we’re excited to welcome guests – and our local residents – back to these spaces,” said General Manager Kate Stanek Gleason.

  • Historic Restoration of Fidelity Trust Building to Deliver Independent Hotel and Re-Energize Monument Square

    Historic Restoration of Fidelity Trust Building to Deliver Independent Hotel and Re-Energize Monument Square

    [ad_1]

    Local Firms Plan Full Rehabilitation and Adaptive Reuse of Historic Portland Landmark


    PORTLAND, Maine, September 26, 2024 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Local developers plan to transform the former Fidelity Trust Building at 465 Congress Street into a historic hotel that captures the beauty and detail of its 1910 architecture. Fathom Companies, in partnership with SwingPoint Development, will lead the historic Portland landmark’s restoration, which will match the style and level of historic preservation of the award-winning Press Hotel, which it developed and operates. 

    “When we restore historic buildings, we revitalize neighborhoods and promote local businesses while protecting our environment,” said Jim Brady, president of Fathom Companies. “Our adaptive re-use from office to hotel will transform this historic landmark in a manner that reflects the culture of Portland’s downtown at the turn of the century. In addition to creating high-quality jobs, the Maine-owned and operated hotel will become a destination that attracts both locals and visitors, bringing revenue and energy to Portland’s historic Main Street.” 

    The former office building will become an upscale boutique hotel with a full-service restaurant, a historic speakeasy bar and approximately 92 rooms and suites on nine floors. It sits across the street from the Time and Temperature building. While the Fidelity Trust Building is currently vacant, it recently housed offices and a retail bank, and the structure is in very good condition. This allows for the full restoration of many historic features, including: 

    • The original bank lobby.
    • The basement vault with its original doors, which will be home to the speakeasy bar.
    • A beautiful internal central staircase bathed in natural light from a restored skylight. 

    Kevin Kraft, Portland’s director of planning and urban development, commented on the proposal. “Fathom Companies is recognized for its successful historic adaptive reuse projects, particularly the transformation of the Portland Press Herald building into the Press Hotel. Fathom’s plans for a new hotel at 465 Congress will breathe new life into a long-vacant historic building at one of Portland’s most prominent intersections, offering visitors opportunities to explore our exceptional businesses, restaurants, and cultural landmarks. This development has the opportunity to strengthen the vibrancy of Monument Square and Congress Street, enhancing key cultural institutions such as the Portland Museum of Art, the Maine Historical Society, the Wadsworth-Longfellow House, and the Maine College of Art and Design. Alongside the substantial residential development that is occurring in downtown and nearby areas, this hotel will bolster Portland’s economy and significantly contribute to the street life and 24/7 energy of the city’s downtown, reinforcing its role as a vital hub for the City, Region, and State.”

    The building opened in 1910 as Maine’s first skyscraper. The architect was G. Henri Desmond, who also designed the Portland Press Herald building (now the Press Hotel) and Portland High School, among other recognizable buildings in the area. In the late 1990s-early 2000s, the Libra Foundation brought the building back to life and created the adjacent Portland Public Market. As a Portland historic landmark and part of the Congress Street Historic District, federal and state historic tax credits will help support the building’s preservation. Fathom Companies anticipates a mid-2026 reopening as a hotel.

    About Fathom Companies

    Fathom Companies is a Portland, Maine-owned real estate development and hospitality management firm recognized for award-winning historic preservation. Jim Brady founded the firm in 2017 after receiving the 2015 Maine Preservation Honor Award for the Press Hotel, a historic adaptive reuse of the former Portland Press Herald building that created Portland’s first boutique hotel. Recognition ascended to the national level in 2020 with the American Institute of Architects Design Honor Award for Renovation & Adaptive for Reuse, also for the Press Hotel. Fathom employs approximately 250 associates across two divisions: hotel management and real estate, which includes investment, development, ground-up construction, historic renovations, and repositioning of hotel, office, residential, and mixed-use properties.

  • Introducing the Weldon: Portland, Maine’s Newest Boutique Hotel

    Introducing the Weldon: Portland, Maine’s Newest Boutique Hotel

    [ad_1]

    Joining the ApartHotel style of travel accommodations, the neighborhood centric Old Port property will open August 1, 2024


    PORTLAND, Maine, July 29, 2024 (Newswire.com)
    –
    The Weldon, a new boutique hotel with 13 fully appointed one-and two-bedroom suites located at 54 York Street in the Old Port (corner of York and Maple Streets) will open on August 1, 2024.  The property is part of a growing trend of ApartHotels – bookable like a hotel but designed with larger living spaces and separate rooms for sleeping, dining, and working, making them ideal for longer stays or for travelers who need a more comfortable and functional living space.

    The Weldon has been thoughtfully reimagined by local owners Chris DiMillo and Jay Hibbard, and is managed by the Portland-based hospitality development company, Fathom Companies, whose team also developed and oversees the iconic Press Hotel and the award-winning Canopy Portland Waterfront. 

    The 13 one-and two-bedroom suites have been handsomely stylized with comfortable mid-century modern furniture and feature apartment-like amenities such as fully-equipped and stocked kitchens with LG appliances and Hexclad kitchenware, full-size washer and dryer, and Sonos sound systems. Bedrooms feature luxury linens from Evangeline and Cuddledown. The building has co-working and private office spaces available to guests, a complete gym with state-of-the-art equipment from Gronk Fitness and Peloton, plus a bike room and extra storage space.

    Weldon Hotel owner Chris DiMillo said, “Travelers are continually charmed by our Old Port in Portland, particularly those who are frequent visitors or have family and friends living in Portland and come here several times a year and in all seasons. Our working waterfront, vibrant restaurant and bar scene, and small business retail shops in this historic downtown, plus the friendly sense of community is really encapsulated at The Weldon and how it feels to live here in Portland year-round. This unique property is coming to Portland at the right time to combine the best of hotel hospitality with apartment living in Maine: warm welcomes, design, dining and entertaining, space to work and workout, and love of what it means to live in Portland.”

    Brandon Hussey, VP of Hospitality Management at Fathom Companies said, “It’s our intention with The Weldon to maintain the things about our highly personal, thoughtful hospitality services that guests seek out and appreciate at our other hotels in Portland, while pairing it with modern technology and practical software applications that appeal to families and the work-remote traveler. Guests who want more amenities and services than what an individual short-term rental can offer and are seeking more space, low-fuss, high experience stays in Portland will find that here at The Weldon. Our advanced technology offers an efficient, contactless experience if desired, or it can act as a personal concierge for pre arrival planning. Our hospitality team is at a Weldon Hotel guests’ fingertips and with their local knowledge and connections, can arrange a variety of Portland experiences—from dinner reservations and wine sail cruises to concert tickets and family-friendly activities.”

    The Weldon nightly rates start from $399 this summer, and can be booked directly on www.theweldonhotel.com. Follow The Weldon on Instagram @theweldonhotel.

As the developers and management company of The Press Hotel, it feels uniquely special to be the future stewards of the property where the printing press for the Portland Press Herald once was.” Brady continued, “As with The Press Hotel and all of our different properties, we take pride in our careful consideration of how this new building will fit within the fabric of our community and be a welcomed respite for residents and visitors.”
