Welcome - Hello and welcome to The Percy Inn, a stylish and intimate 1830 urban inn, situated in the heart of Portland's West End Historic District at Longfellow Square. We're delighted you've come for a look, and hope you find everything here you need to make a trip to Portland an exciting and fulfilling one. You're in for a treat because we share the West End with a clutch of distinctive inns and bring to the collection our own flavor and hospitality. I hope you'll be our guest this time around so we can offer you the skinny on everything Portland up close. Or if your travel plans bring you to other locales along the way, perhaps you'll let me guide you to the world's best hotels and cruise ships by catching my travel commentary live from the extra-terrestrial on DISCOVERY CHANNEL RADIO via the XM and Sirius Satellites. Surely you will appreciate the breadth and depth of our recommendations – now accommodations ranging from traditional amenity-rich guest rooms at our main inn in Portland to accommodations on the Southern Maine coast, and now in South Florida. Capture a few days in the innkeeper’s cottage overlooking the salt marsh and ocean in Wells, Maine or the chic condominium overlooking Biscayne Bay in South Florida.  We can also steer you to a trio of historic apartment suites situated in our own neighborhood available for long-term rentals. Glance at new photos and our press clips page – apologies for sharing the kind words the media says about us – but perhaps you’ll find them helpful. This past year you've read about us in Vogue, Yankee, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic Traveler, BestFares, Passport, and more. Yankee Magazine's Travel Guide to New England chose us as an editors' pick in the State of Maine. Not only will you discover fine lodging in Portland, but our city boasts an enviable selection of restaurants that run the gamut from cozy wine bar cafe to sassy Santa Fe salsa. You won't be disappointed if you want seafood on the water, at the shore, or atop the rocks with waves crashing before you. I'm travel writer Dale Northrup, and I've been telling people where to go for over 20 years. As author or co-author of nearly two dozen consumer travel guides from New England to Asia, I've seen many of the nooks and crannies we Maine natives often keep to ourselves. My background writing 23,000 hotel reviews for travel agent hotel guides in 70 countries makes me appreciate the wonderful surroundings my hometown affords. On behalf of all of us in Portland and The West End, we welcome you to a town, and a neighborhood, you won't shortly forget.
