Stay somewhere
with a story
Eight private suites in a beautifully renovated 1930s Tudor, right across from Gardiner Common and a short walk from downtown.
Historic charm, modern comfort
Across the street from Gardiner Common, One Lincoln Ave is a 1930s Tudor-style building that has been transformed into a boutique hotel with eight one-of-a-kind private suites. Original granite, oak, and fireplaces sit alongside bold local art, fresh design, and every modern comfort: fast Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, and easy self check-in.

Where do I park?

It's just a few steps up to the front door. As a historic building, One Lincoln Ave doesn't have an elevator, so the lower level and the upper floors are reached by stairs. If stairs are a concern, reach out before you book and we'll help you pick the suite that's easiest to get to.

We're self check-in with no front desk or restaurant, and the team is a text away. Downtown's cafés are an 8-minute walk. See our favorite spots.

Suites 1 through 7 each have a kitchenette, and The Penthouse has a full kitchen.
