Overview

Experience historic Portsmouth at The Sailmaker's House. This beautiful boutique hotel is located in the heart of the city, with a rich history that dates back centuries. Dating back to the 1820s, the space was once a private residence, ultimately becoming an inn in the early 1980s. It reopened as The Sailmaker's House in 2017, fully refurnished and remodeled. The hotel maintains the building's historic feel, but with luxurious bedrooms, modern amenities and all of the creature comforts a discerning guest could hope for.

The Sailmaker's House unique blend of tradition and modern showcases the New England spirit, offering guests a true feel of Portsmouth and its surrounding areas, from its incredible hospitality to its striking design. The hotel features many of the original building's design elements, including its windows, slanted pine floors and narrow staircases, typical of the 18th century. The guest rooms are a far cry from those of the era, however, featuring everything from premium linens and toiletries to flat-screen HDTVs, WiFi, Bluetooth clock radios with charging stations and in-room climate control.

The Sailmaker's House features 10 guest rooms, each featuring sumptuous king-sized, pillow-top mattresses outfitted with Matouk® linens, plush down pillows and comforters. En suite, bathrooms are newly-remodeled, appointed with EO and Malin & Goetz® toiletries; walk-in tile showers and marble floors make every bathroom feel even more luxurious. All rooms include windows that let in ample natural lighting; select rooms feature views of the hotel's perennia gardens. One of the rooms even features a full bathtub, a private living rooms and a pull-out couch to accomodate four guests.

With its prime location in downtown Portsmouth, The Sailmaker's House makes it easy for guests to sample the city's many gourmet restaurants and cafes. Light refreshments are available 24/7 at the hotel's common area coffee station.

Pros (+) Tasty Ceres bakery muffins for breakfast, ample water and juice, dead simple entry and check out, and lovely accommodations. Thoughtful email highlighted local restaurants.
Cons (-) As others have said, stairs to second floor are quite steep, treacherous if you’re unsteady. Just be sure to ask for ground floor room if this is any concern.
