Bethany Wade has been appointed as General Manager at Longfellow Hotel
Longfellow Hotel, a brand-new, 48-room boutique hotel from Maine-based, family-owned hospitality group Uncommon Hospitality, announced the appointment of Bethany Wade as general manager. Wade will play an integral role in launching the exciting West End project, spearheading hotel operations, guest services, and community outreach to cement The Longfellow's legacy as a Portland hospitality icon.
Wade is a multifaceted hotelier with deep-rooted experience in the luxury hospitality sector. She most recently served as Director of Rooms at Auberge Resorts' White Barn Inn in Kennebunk, Maine, where she ensured a seamless guest experience throughout all touchpoints of the storied property. Wade was also a key member of Auberge Resorts Collection's global task force, introducing the Auberge standards of service to new brand properties and serving on the opening teams for Malliouhana Resort in Meads Bay, Anguilla; Mauna Lani in Waimea, Hawaii; Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, Texas; and Wildflower Farms in Hudson Valley, New York. Prior to this role, Wade also held the position of Spa Manager at White Barn Inn, as well as various titles within the operations and front desk teams.
Born and raised in Shapleigh, Maine on her family farm, Wade began her hospitality journey in high school before stepping away from the industry for more than a decade to explore myriad creative pursuits, including art curation, journalistic editing, marketing and more. Her diverse background lends itself to The Longfellow's aim to elevate the hospitality offering in Portland through a focus on design, culinary excellence and holistic wellbeing.
