Luxury comes naturally at Inn by the Sea, surrounded by the beauty of coastal Maine. Located on a mile of sandy beach in New England the Inn embraces an understated elegance with traditional coastal shingled architecture, but decidedly modern and stylish interiors. Inn by the Sea - part of the L.V.X collection of Preferred Hotels & Resorts - has emerged as one of Maine's premier luxury seaside retreats and has been granted the prestigious AAA Four-Diamond Award. With just 61 rooms, spacious one- & two-bedroom suites and rooms, guests are guaranteed attentive service, elegant hospitality and an experience that promises to exceed expectations. Located in Cape Elizabeth, just 7 miles from Portland, the inn has managed to redefine coastal luxury with its sophisticated interior design coupled with a permanent collection of art created by renowned regional artists that grace public and private spaces. A private boardwalk leads onto the soothing shores of Crescent Beach, crossing through a sweeping wildlife sanctuary along the way. With such intimate surroundings, you might not expect the full-service amenities offered by larger hotels, but rest assured, Inn by the Sea is both full-service and fabulous.

We had such a wonderful experience at Inn by the Sea. Our room opened onto a beautiful terrace, and the entire setting was absolutely stunning. We spent time at the spa and had an incredible massage—truly one of the best. The food was spectacular from start to finish, and everything about the atmosphere felt special. Beautiful surroundings, amazing food, a fantastic spa, and such a memorable stay. We would absolutely return.

Stayed at Inn by the Sea for a wedding in Prouts Neck. Stunning location and beautiful spacious room, fabulous staff--so nice, so professional. Food was a little uneven. Strangely, lots of flies everywhere, even inside dining room as I ate my steak (which was delicious). But all in all, would recommend.

Thank you, Nick, Shayne, Eva, and team for a wonderful return visit. New loft suites are extraordinary as was our dining experience in Sea Glass. Property looks a beautiful as ever. Well done, IBTS. With appreciation, Michael Briggs

Beautiful room and views. Loved the boardwalk to the sandy beach. Spa area was a great relaxation break after full days of beach exploration.
