The INN Downtown
Contemporary apartment-hotel in a historic shell. Self-sufficient and low-fuss — no buffet breakfast, no lobby bar, just well-designed rooms that feel like a local's flat.

Why It Matters
Portsmouth's only boutique apart-hotel occupies a landmark 1809 Federal-era house just steps from Market Square. Listed with Tablet Hotels. Rated 9.2/10 on Booking.com.
Portsmouth, NH's first apart-hotel, tucked inside a Federal-style home built in 1809. Ten individually decorated studio apartments replace what could have been a fusty B&B, and the result is something genuinely different: real kitchens with SMEG refrigerators, Serta Presidential pillowtop beds, Malin+Goetz bath products, and zero pretension. Check-in is fully contactless, there is no front desk, and the concierge is a real human reachable by phone around the clock.
