Located along the Maine coast, just 20 minutes from downtown Portland, Inn by the Sea welcomes travelers to its newly renovated suites. The inn recently completed a renovation on its Garden Suites and the soon-to-debut Loft Suites will bring a refreshed coastal feeling to Maine’s premier beach resort.

The newly renovated Garden Suites feature one-bedroom retreats located in the main house. The new design features a coastal palette of blues and corals; hardwood floors; plush new area rugs; and custom closets and built-in bookshelves, both created by Portland-based artisan Paul White of Paul White Company. Suites also include large bathrooms with soaking tubs, Nespresso makers, refrigerators, microwave and flat-screen televisions.

During the summer season, the refreshed Loft Suites will launch. The two-level suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Atlantic from the main level to the second floor. The views are even better from the newly constructed outdoor decks. The suites also feature an open-plan living area, private bedroom and bathroom, and all the same features and amenities of the Garden Suites.

Beyond the suites, the hotel offers a variety of experiences and amenities for travelers to explore.

Inn by the Sea has a full-service spa with a list of treatments. More recently, the spa launched a new Higgins Beach Signature Sea Waves experience featuring a wave-motion bed with synchronized strokes and immersive surf sounds and other sensory factors simulating the Maine Coast.

After treatments, guests can go out and experience the Maine coast itself, as the inn sits on a mile of popular Crescent Beach. For those looking for a more immersive experience, the inn offers experiential, sustainable programming like beach ecology walks with a resident naturalist.
