Where luxury comes naturally

Inn by the Sea is one of the East Coast’s finest luxury beach resorts; overlooking Crescent Beach, on the shores of scenic Cape Elizabeth peninsula, just five miles south of downtown Portland.

A complete redesign of the guest rooms, duplex Spa Suites and cottages brings fresh new interiors, done in a rich palette of earthy red hued textiles, warm cognac woodwork and are outfitted with maple furnishings and locally commissioned artwork. Inn by the Sea offers guests a relaxed but elegant Maine coast experience in 61 luxuriously appointed rooms and one and two bedroom suites, including the new Ocean View Beach Suites unveiled in summer 2012.

Views from the Inn look out to five acres of indigenous seaside gardens, quintessential sunrises and lobster boats anchored off Crescent Beach – the very scenes that inspired great American painters – the masterpieces of Hopper, Homer and others that hang in the nearby Portland Museum of Art.

Recently selected one of Travel + Leisure’s top 50 hotels in the 2012 Worlds Best List, Inn by the Sea has also made Forbes Traveler’s list for Top Ten Green Hotels in the US and Canada.
