The Bow Welcome to The Bow, where art meets the harbor in the heart of Portsmouth, NH. Take a morning walk along the busy waterfront in Prescott Park.

We are the Portsmouth NH hotel destination for guests seeking a unique blend of history, comfort, high-tech amenities and the utmost attention to detail. Our location in the heart of the New Hampshire seacoast's most vibrant small city can't be beat either. Sip coffee at a sunny sidewalk café. Catch a show next door at The Seacoast Rep theatre. Dine at one of downtown Portsmouth's 60+ restaurants before dancing the night away. We look forward to welcoming you.
