Blind Tiger Portland - Danforth Street

My oldest daughter is getting married in September 2025, and she wanted to have her bachelorette party in Portland in July. She’s got a big group of friends and thought it would be awesome if they could all stay together in one house. After a little research, we came across the Blind Tiger House on Danforth Street. It looked like the right size and location, but with a 50% nonrefundable deposit required upfront, we didn’t want to commit without checking it out first. So, we decided to book a stay to see for ourselves—and wow, it did not disappoint! The Blind Tiger exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the perfect spot for a gathering with friends or family, and also an amazing choice for a romantic getaway. I absolutely loved the real working fireplaces in the common areas and some of the bedrooms, and we were thrilled to have one in our room! The Billiards room was such a fun bonus—it has this cool speakeasy vibe, or maybe even that chill basement hangout feel from the ‘70s/‘80s. The staff was fantastic too—friendly, helpful, and more than happy to show us around, answer our questions, and even recommend great spots to eat and grab a drink. We stayed in the Bon Viveur room, which was beautifully set up. The king bed was super comfy, and we made good use of the fireplace to stay extra cozy. The Blind Tiger also has all these thoughtful little extras that make it stand out—like eucalyptus shower steamers, a pantry stocked with complimentary snacks and sodas, plus books and games for guests to enjoy. Needless to say, we can’t wait to come back!

My girlfriend and I have been to Portland many times but have never stayed at the Blind Tiger -Danforth. We’ll never stay anywhere else. Charming, beautiful, stylish, cozy, delightful and welcoming. We were there on a February weekend. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Meg, who gave us a short tour and showed us to our beautiful, large room. A word about Meg - she was wonderful. She gave us some great recommendations for local spots and whenever we saw her in the sitting rooms or on our way out or in, she greeted us with a smile and curiosity about our day. She helped us navigate the pantry and always started a fire when we sat in one of the living rooms to read and relax. She was a big part of why our experience was extraordinary. We met her colleague on Sunday and she was equally delightful. A word about our room - large space with a beautiful bed set if an arc of windows. A working fireplace with a comfy couch. We used the fireplace whenever we were in the room. The bathroom was large and has a great shower. The incredible craftsmanship of this early 1800s mansion is on display in every detail in the room combined with a modern decorative style. The housekeeper, Chiho, kept our room immaculate. It was a joy to come back to our room and have it truly perfect. And she left beautiful little origami at each visit that she makes herself. The lobby/common areas on the first floor and the billiards room are some of the coziest places I’ve been in any hotel. The bottom line is you should stay here.

Such a gorgeous place to stay! We were able to walk to so many places around town. The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating and the common areas were so well quipped. We stayed in the Baxter suite and loved how spacious it was. Will definitely plan to stay here again!

Such a chic little spot for the last few evenings of our honeymoon! We loved that it was a little off-the-beaten path, but still close enough to walk to the heart of Old Port. The decor was very chic, the rooms were well-appointed, and the complimentary snacks and breakfast were so tasty!!

One of the worst hotel experiences! The hotel is on a main road with a lot of traffice and was extremely noisy since with no AC (not as advertised) we had to leave the windows open to regulate the heat. Also a very unfriendly reception upon arrival. The room itself.....dirty bathrooms, soiled towels, toddler-sized toilet, in complete disrepair with peeling paint and dirty walls & windows. In addition there was a very mediocre to terrible breakfast offering.......The hotel was a huge disappointment overall!

Maggie made our stay SO special. She went above and beyond with special surprises and touches that made our stay incredible! Your property is a 10/10 and is a luxury boutique hotel. It's a short walk to the waterfront. Breakfast had a great selection and a cappuccino/espresso machine! Stay here, do not hesitate. I
