Brunswick is a college town offering rich and diverse art and cultural resources, anchored by Bowdoin College’s noted museums, theater, and concert halls.

OneSixtyFive is located just steps from Bowdoin college, on the center town “Mall” where food trucks, shops, restaurants and shopping are all within a short walking distance Just 20 minutes south is the bustling city of Portland where visitors come from all over to experience the vibrant food scene, boat cruises and breweries. Brunswick has gained popularity over the years for its food and microbrewing scene.

Owning a full-service hotel in Brunswick, Maine offers several distinct benefits tied to the town’s strong economic base, year-round activity, and desirable Midcoast location.

Operational Advantages:

Local Partnerships & Institutional Relationships

Bowdoin College and local businesses frequently require lodging and event space — ideal for developing long-term contracts and repeat group business.
Nearby arts and culture institutions (Maine State Music Theatre, Bowdoin International Music Festival) create strong seasonal demand.

Community Integration

Full-service hotels in Brunswick often serve as community hubs — venues for local dining, meetings, and special events — increasing brand visibility and loyalty.
The local population (over 20,000) supports food & beverage revenue even outside the tourist season.

Workforce Availability

Access to a local labor pool (college students, year-round residents) makes staffing more stable than in isolated coastal markets.

Investment Benefits of OneSixtyFive

Stable Year-Round Demand

Bowdoin College drives a steady stream of business — visiting families, faculty, alumni, speakers, and prospective students — even in off-season months.
Mid Coast Hospital (MaineHealth) and nearby corporate offices (BIW/Bath Iron Works, LL Bean in Freeport) generate consistent business travel.
Tourism remains strong May–October, but Brunswick’s education, healthcare, and business base support occupancy in shoulder and winter seasons.
Strong Location in Midcoast Maine
Centrally positioned between Portland and Camden, Brunswick captures both north- and southbound travelers.
Easy access via I-295, Amtrak Downeaster, and Brunswick Executive Airport makes it a transportation hub for the region.
Proximity to coastal towns like Bath, Harpswell, and Boothbay expands marketing reach without the isolation of more rural destinations.

Balanced Market – Less Saturation Than Portland

Brunswick’s lodging market is relatively limited — a few small inns and midscale hotels — meaning a well-managed full-service property can command premium ADR (average daily rate) and strong RevPAR compared to limited-service competitors.
Portland’s hotel market is competitive and costly; Brunswick offers lower operating costs and steadier occupancy.

Upside from Mixed Revenue Streams

A full-service model (rooms + food & beverage + events) creates multiple income sources:
Guest rooms and extended stays
On-site restaurant and bar
Small weddings, corporate retreats, and college-related events. These diversified revenue streams mitigate seasonal swings.
