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.

My wife and I are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and chose Maine for our getaway trip. Neither of us have been to Maine before and, after this visit, it has become our favorite Fall trip! The Inn by the Sea was our final accommodation as we traveled down mid-coastal Maine. We loved the resort’s proximity to the bay and convenience of visiting wonderful lighthouses and shoreline parks to hike. The suite was clean, quaint, private and very quiet. The views of the bay from our suite are fabulous! The staff is excellent and was there for all of our questions and needs. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Jackie and I will be back! Joe and Jackie

Beautiful views of the ocean and scenery. Great location, close to downtown Portland and many attractions. Tons of walking trails and paths around the resort with access to the beach. Rooms are nautical and spacious. It’s kept its cozy New England vibe and not overly modernized. Loved the heated bathroom floors. Food at Seaglass is very good. Staff is friendly. Since it’s open year round, they need a large hot tub! Will be back :)

I have visited Inn By The Sea multiple times over the last several years. Each visit is special, changing menu is always a treat, The setting allows for socializing as well as quiet, alone time. Service is impeccable. Access to the beach is the cherry on top.

Everything about the Inn is just fantastic. The service, the amenities, the ambience, the location. We were there to attend a wedding reception; we were not aware of the Inn prior, but it was such a great experience, we are putting this on our list of places to go back to!!!

The Sea Glass was phenomenal!!! Server was very friendly and when we ordered food to share they split it onto our own plates! I was very pleased to invite family there because everyone loved their meal! The views are amazing and the pet friendly atmosphere was a bonus!
