Hotels in Greater Portland & Casco Bay Maine

Continuing a legacy of hospitality that goes back to 1892, the Higgins Beach Inn proudly provides guests with memorable New England getaways. The rooms in the three-story, newly renovated Colonial Revival hotel have an easy-going, beachy feel, appropriate for a hotel that is but a seashell’s throw away from one of Maine’s finest beaches, perfect for swimming, paddleboarding and sunbathing. Cuisine at the hotel’s restaurant, Shade, features local seafood, refreshing cocktails and micro brews. Adventures a short drive away include sailing and boating at Sebago Lake; museums, galleries, nightlife and a foodie paradise in Portland; and shopping 24 hours a day at L.L. Bean in Freeport. Let the hotel concierge help you plan a fun day with the inn as your home base.

History, beauty and modern comforts combine to create a true Maine vacation at the Inn at Diamond Cove, a gracious inn on Maine’s Great Diamond Island. Take a short, scenic boat ride from Portland’s Old Port District through sparkling Casco Bay to this island paradise, where your room or suite with a balcony, hardwood floor and fireplace awaits. The inn, on the former site of Fort McKinley, built in the 1890s to protect Portland Harbor, reopened in 2015 with meticulous attention to historic detail to preserve its past. But modern touches include a heated pool, tennis courts, hot tub, cabana bar, outdoor fire bit, bikes and world-class dining. Island activities include walking trails, secluded beaches, kayaking, biking and paddleboarding.
