Welcome to The Port Hotel
We invite you to indulge in the luxury and elegance of The Port Hotel, a magnificently restored 1902 turn-of-the-century boutique hotel. Offering grand accommodations with timeless character, the hotel blends refined comfort with old-world charm, all set against the backdrop of historic downtown Port Washington and the scenic shores of Lake Michigan.

Innkeeper Nicole’s April Notes
April at The Port Hotel is a quiet awakening. Lake Michigan begins to soften, the air feels lighter, and our historic space take on a fresh kind of glow. It is a season for slow mornings, open windows, and peaceful weekends along the water.
As Port Washington comes back to life, I always recommend starting your day with a walk along the marina or lakeshore, followed by coffee from my favorite coffee spot, Java Dock. There is something especially grounding about this time of year. Everything is unhurried, uncrowded, and quietly beautiful.
Spring also marks the beginning of celebration season. We are welcoming couples, small gatherings, and wedding guests as the calendar begins to fill. If you are planning a stay around an event, I encourage booking early, as our weekends begin to reserve quickly.
For those looking for a more relaxed escape, weekday stays in April offer a perfect balance of calm and comfort. It’s an ideal time to reset, recharge, and enjoy The Port Hotel at a slower pace.
And as always, for an effortless evening, Moonlight Tavern awaits just downstairs, offering a warm, intimate setting to end your day.
April is understated, but truly special here. I hope you experience it. We would be absolutely elated to host you!
Warmly,
Nicole
Innkeeper, The Port Hotel
