Portland,
ME – August 2024 / NewsmakerAlert: 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) opened 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.”
