About the Inn

A Boutique Inn

We are a lovely boutique inn in the diverse urban setting of downtown Lewiston. Our guest reviews typically mention "feeling at home" when they stay with us. Our guests are typically made up of Bates College parents, college visit families, businesspeople, and urban tourists interested in the diverse ethnic makeup of Lewiston and interested in former mill towns reinventing themselves. While we are not located in Maine's vast wilderness, we are conveniently located an easy drive for day trips to the best that Maine has to offer - lakes, mountains, small towns, rocky beaches, boggy hikes, and even sandy shores - making us a perfect home base for travelers looking to explore a variety of Maine locations in a short amount of time.

Planning a trip to tour the colleges offered in Maine?

Add a little less chaos to the process and tour Bates, Bowdoin, and Colby Colleges with the Inn at the Agora as your "home base". The Inn at the Agora is minutes away from Bates College, and under an hour from the Portland International Jetport, Bowdoin College, and Colby College!

Why Choose the Inn at the Agora?

What you'll love about staying with us:

• Private Parking: We provide a small off-street parking lot right beside the inn for guest parking.
• Free WiFi: Free Wi-fi for our guests throughout the inn and their room.
• Flatscreen Roku TVs: Rooms are outfitted with Roku streaming TVs as well as traditional cable access.
• We Support Our Community: We don't serve breakfast, but we do provide breakfast coupons to guests that book directly through us to two local restaurants. We work with local artists to display their work for sale on our walls and in our giftshop. We have other local small businesses that we are in touch with if you need a massage, real estate agent, or any other service you can think of.
• Feels Like Home: We aren't a chain hotel. We've spent time in every area and room answering the question, "If we were guests, what would we want?" Over and over, we hear that "it feels like home" or "it feels like I'm visiting my aunt's". That's why our slogan is "Be our guest and make yourself at home".
• Pet Friendly: Woof! We love pets and even have our own resident dog. Please call us with any pet-related questions prior to arrival. We look forward to pampering you and your pet! *Due to allergies, we also have two guest rooms that are "pet free" - Healy and Gleason. A *$25 per-pet/per-night fee* applies.

The Neighborhood

An Experience

Located in the heart of Lewiston, Maine, the Inn at the Agora overlooks historic Kennedy Park where Presidential nominee John Kennedy spoke on November 7, 1960. At nearly 8,000 square feet of living space, this quintessential masterpiece was built in the mid-1800s by Captain Albert Kelsey and later purchased by the Roman Catholic Church as the rectory to St. Patrick's Church. After sitting vacant for 5 years when the church closed, it found a new life as an Inn. Located a few blocks from Central Maine Medical Center and less than a mile from Bates College, the Inn at the Agora provides travelers a central location in Maine's second largest metropolitan area coupled with luxury, amenities, and all the comforts of home.
