PORTLAND, ME and MCLEAN, Va. – Today Hilton (NYSE: HLT) announced the opening of Canopy by Hilton Portland Waterfront, the first Hilton lifestyle hotel to open in the New England region. Located on the corner of Center and Commercial Streets in the Old Port neighborhood, the waterfront hotel is owned and managed by Fathom Companies.
The property is home to Luna, the first indoor/outdoor rooftop bar overlooking Casco Bay, and Salt Yard, a café and restaurant that pays homage to Portland’s pottery history and Old Port building icon, E. Swasey & Co.
“We are proud to provide an energizing, inviting place for both visitors and our local community,” said Ginny Petrovek, general manager, Canopy Portland Waterfront. “We’re also excited to share a new, unique Portland experience just as summer kicks off. As downtown activities get into full swing, guests and locals alike can truly feel this neighborhood’s energy from Canopy Portland Waterfront—an especially enjoyable experience with a refreshment in hand on the rooftop at Luna!”
Canopy Portland Waterfront is home to 135 guestrooms, all of which are designed for ease and comfort by architect and design agencies Baskervill and HKS. Portland-based interior design firm Ealain Studios created a memorable experience that highlights local touchpoints.
“We’re thrilled to continue to expand the Canopy footprint in the U.S., with our first lifestyle hotel in Maine and the New England region,” said Harald Han, director of brand management, Canopy by Hilton. “We look forward to welcoming guests to Canopy Portland Waterfront, which was created as a natural extension of the neighborhood to help visitors relax, recharge and experience the city like a local.”
Eat. Drink. Smile.
Luna Rooftop Bar brings new meaning to “point of view” with its sixth-floor waterfront panoramas over Commercial Street to the South Portland bridge. Add in the lighting, music, salty air and alluring starry night vibes, Luna is perfect for after-work get-togethers or starlit date nights. Cocktails with a playful nod to constellations, a raw bar and snack menu with Maine classics like Crab Roll, Lobster Roll, New England Clam Dip and modern twists on Red Snapper Corn Dogs and Duck Wings, along with a sweets menu that features light and irresistible Ricotta Lavender Fritters—Luna is destined to be a beacon for Portland gatherings.
Salt Yard Café + Bar, whose name gives a nod to the famous salt-glazed earthenware that was made in the E. Swasey Pottery building next door, was designed with today’s Portland residents and guests in mind. This street-level eatery has floor-to-ceiling windows for easy people-watching and features expert coffee, barista-made beverages, grab-and-go breakfast and lunch options. Its dinner fare puts a fun twist on traditional favorites like New England Fish Chowder and Masala Baked Beans. The menu is notably simple and fresh with plant-forward options like Honey Ginger Cauliflower, Roasted Mushroom Salad and Sweet Potato Bravas for small plates, and choices of flatbreads or pastas for main courses that feature seafood, meats and vegetables.
