Maine’s Lincoln Hotel is Inside a Reimagined Old Mill

Looking for a Maine getaway that feels a little different?

Put The Lincoln Hotel in Biddeford on your list.

It's sitting pretty inside the beautifully restored Lincoln Mill, the boutique hotel transforms a piece of Maine's industrial past into a modern stay with soaring ceilings, exposed brick, warm wood accents and thoughtfully designed spaces that feel both polished and inviting.  

The building's historic character remains front and center, while contemporary touches give it a fresh, upscale feel.

The hotel has quickly become one of Maine's standout destinations, earning a Michelin Key in both 2024 and 2025, an honor recognizing hotels that offer exceptional hospitality and memorable experiences. 

The Lincoln puts you right in the middle of Biddeford, where you can spend the day bouncing between coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, boutiques and local spots before heading back to your room.

And when you want some beach time? Southern Maine's coastline is just a short drive away.

It's easy to picture the perfect weekend here: coffee and a slow morning, exploring downtown, a beach stop in the afternoon, then getting dressed up for dinner and drinks before calling it a night.

What makes The Lincoln especially cool is that it doesn't feel like a cookie-cutter hotel dropped into a Maine town. The old mill is a huge part of its personality, and the hotel leans into that history while still feeling current.

If you're looking for a quick getaway that feels trendy, local and distinctly Maine, this one is worth knowing about.
