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...
Read moreMy 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...
Read moreI came to Portland all the way from Australia because of the lobsters. As excited as I was to see the town and eat every lobster as I possibly could, nothing prepared me for the lovely reception I’d get once I arrived at the Blind Tiger. My original flight into Portland was cancelled and I arrived a day into my stay. The ladies (Tammara, Caroline, and Nicolette) were extraordinarily welcoming. They anticipated every need of mine: they left tea and snacks by the bed, offered to send me coffee upstairs, and messaged me every couple of hours to make sure I had everything I needed. This is the epitome of hospitality: they tailor their services to each guest, they pay attention to the smallest detail, and they go the extra mile to make sure you have the most comfortable and satisfying stay - from constantly replenishing the wood in the fireplace to ordering pizzas when there is a blizzard of biblical proportions raging outside (as was the case with me). I felt as if I were staying at a friend’s place where they were genuinely happy to have me over. Conclusion: I now know that I’ll be returning to Portland more for the Blind Tiger than for the lobsters. Thank you ladies for the...
