Bringing their brand into the hotel allows us to offer our guests something truly special and unexpected. We’re especially excited about the VIP element of this pop-up. It’s designed to feel exclusive and memorable. An experience where guests can connect with a beloved Maine brand in a fresh, intimate way while discovering pieces that inspire them to escape, reset, and release.”
Bringing the Spirit of The Woods Maine to Portland
