New Dual-Branded Marriott Property Brings 148 Guestrooms, Rail-Inspired Design, and Local Culinary Partnerships to Portland’s Dynamic Waterfront District
Colwen Hotels today announced the opening of Residence Inn by Marriott and Moxy Hotel Portland Thompson’s Point, the first hotel in Portland’s Thompson’s Point district. Developed by XSS Hotels and managed by Colwen Hotels, the five-story, dual-branded property introduces 148 guestrooms to one of southern Maine’s fastest-growing waterfront destinations.
Located at 220 Thompson’s Point Road, the hotel places guests within Thompson’s Point, a waterfront neighbourhood featuring a mix of arts, entertainment, dining, and cultural experiences. The destination is home to the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine, Brick South, year-round events, eateries, cocktail bars, artist studios and more. Guests are within walking distance of the Portland Transportation Center, which provides access to Amtrak’s Downeaster rail service and Concord Coach Lines, and less than three miles from Portland’s downtown waterfront and Old Port district.
Designed by Colwen Design and Purchasing, the hotel brings a distinctive point of view to Portland’s evolving Thompson’s Point district, with design elements that pay tribute to the neighborhood’s rich industrial history as a historic transportation and freight hub. Throughout the property, industrial-inspired architectural details connect the guest experience to the site’s past while reflecting the character of the surrounding neighbourhood.
Residence Inn features 70 apartment-style suites designed for extended stays, complete with fully equipped kitchens, complimentary breakfast, outdoor grilling areas, and spacious accommodations for families, business travellers, and guests seeking the comforts of home while traveling. Moxy offers 78 guestrooms with contemporary styling, integrated technology, and vibrant social spaces tailored to today’s lifestyle traveller.
The property’s food and beverage program centers around Bar Moxy, which transitions throughout the day from a grab-and-go marketplace to an evening social hub, featuring local favourites including The Holy Donut alongside a curated selection of Maine craft beers from regional breweries, including neighbouring Bissell Brothers Brewing.
Guests across both hotels have access to amenities including an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, 24-hour market, seasonal valet parking, and self-parking. As the only hotel located within Thompson’s Point, the property is well positioned to accommodate wedding guests, concertgoers, corporate groups, and attendees of the district’s expanding calendar of events.
Residence Inn and Moxy Portland Thompson’s Point are now open and accepting reservations.
