About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for Inn by the Sea
The Inn by the Sea....... a Treasure & Pleasure in Maine
As my husband, Marius, and I explained to Eva at checkout... The Inn by the Sea is simply put, ʼ A treasure and a pleasureʼ. From check-in to check-out, from first meal to bar bites, from Thanksgiving Day lunch to a classic margarita by the fire, our stay as a family of five, four humans and one dog, was wonderful and came at a time when we needed rest and recharge. Room 503 was spotless, warm, perfectly decorated, and sprinkled with little touches that we quickly came to realise were part of the course for an ʼInn by the Seaʼ' guest. We will be back....... and have already recommended a stay to many friends. Yours in appreciation of the care and attention given by staff & management... with particular mention to Katie, Abbie, Catherine, Brian, and Eva. The Smyth Family, Manhasset, NY & Ireland

Magical
Just try and find one single thing to complain about at this superb hotel ... you literally cannot. Situated on one of southern Maine's nicest beaches, with super spacious rooms facing the horizon, location is only one reason to come. Throw in friendly staff, excellent food, amenities galore, and their recent Wine Spectator Award, and you have all the elements of a PERFECT stay. Prices vary widely by season, of course, but deals can be had, and the value is there.

Wonderful stay at this beautiful inn!
We had a wonderful four night stay at this beautiful inn. We have stayed a couple of times in the past few years when they offer the Habitat for Humanity special discount. The inn is beautiful, well cared for and the staff is great! Our king loft room was very clean, comfortable and had excellent amenities. The location is also great, with views of the beach and a boardwalk path to get to the beach. We look forward to coming back!

Gorgeous retreat!
Five stars all the way - the property and room were amazing - gorgeous, clean, attention to details all the way around. Food and service was excellent - everyone was so incredibly nice. I also love that this property allows pups - they are an integral part here and that makes it all the better. Stayed in a 2 brm 1 bath suite second floor balcony - highly recommend.

An Unforgettable Event and Experience at the Inn by The Sea
We recently held a business event / meeting at Inn by The Sea in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The staff went above and beyond to assist in the planning and execution of this event. Our attending customers were thrilled with the location and the Inn itself. It really does exude "Luxury Delivered Naturally" - this speaks to the venue itself and surrounding beauty but also the staff's ability to support a high end event seemlessly. A special shout out to Laurie Inness for her outstanding support and professionalism!
