Hotels Maine

If it's rugged coastline and sandy beaches you are looking for, then the state of Maine in the northeastern United States is the ideal place to visit. The stunning scenery, with its rocky coastline, spectacular seascapes, lighthouses, lobster villages and the low rolling hills inland with lakes, rivers and mountains attracts many vacationers. Our website, Hotels Maine, offers hotels across the state that vary from elegant country inns to luxury resorts to modern city hotels to bed and breakfasts.

Located in New England and sharing borders with Canada, the Atlantic Ocean, and New Hampshire, Maine is the most eastern state in the U.S. It is also called the Pine Tree State, since 90% of the land is forested. The great North Woods in the north of the state is a large pristine wilderness area. The capital city of Maine is Augusta, while Portland is the state's largest city. The seagoing history of this rugged port is preserved in many of the buildings and guests to any of the hotels will be able to enjoy excellent restaurants, cosmopolitan pubs, and plenty of shopping opportunities. Other major cities include Bangor, Bar Harbor, Ellsworth and Lewiston, a large industrial town in central Maine.

Maine has nearly 3,500 miles of shoreline and thousands of islands, including the Isle of Shoals. Bays, inlets, lighthouses, cliffs, and rocky faces attract most visitors to the Maine's hotels. If you'd like to see a famous lighthouse, head to Pemaquid Point. Prominent glacial features that were formed at the end of the last ice age are also readily accessible to tourists, including Somes Sound, which is deep enough to allow large ships to navigate almost the entire length. Acadia, located on Mount Desert Island, is New England's only national park and is also home to Bubble Mountain with Bubble Rock perched on the edge. Cadillac Mountain is the place to go if you want to be the first to witness the sunrise on the east coast.

Further inland, it is the fresh water lakes and wilderness that attracts visitors. These provide ample opportunity for guests to enjoy fishing, hiking, whitewater rafting, and canoeing in the summer months, and skiing and snowmobiling during the long cold winter. Here, lovely mountain resort hotels ensure warmth and comfort when guests come in from the snow with blazing fires, warm décor, and lots of comfort food. Black Mountain, Saddleback and Squaw Mountain Retreat are some of the favorite skiing slopes while guests enjoy hiking, walking, and golf in the summer.

The hotels Maine offers come in a great variety of establishments. From century old historic inns and converted old sea captains' homes to modern city hotels, there is something for all visitors. They provide accommodations for families and couples, adventurers and explorers, those on a budget, and guests looking for luxury vacations.

Probably the best way to access this state is through the Portland International Airport. Otherwise, passenger trains and cars and a bus service from Boston to Maine's major cities are a great way to see the countryside. A high speed ferry service from Nova Scotia and Yarmouth to Portland and Bar Harbor is another alternative. Once in the state, cars are the best mode of transport and guests at any of Maine's hotels need to remember that roads to the north are few and far between and many are private, requiring a permit.

Many of the coastal hotels Maine offers provide stunning views over the Atlantic Ocean, including breathtaking views of Frenchman's Bay or Boothbay Harbor or any one of the many other inlets. Providing the finest lodgings and unsurpassed hospitality, these hotels are perfect for families or romantic getaways. Deluxe guest rooms include private balconies, cable TV, and a choice of a king-size bed or two doubles. Deluxe studios, one, two or three bedrooms suites include fully equipped kitchens, dining rooms and glowing fireplaces. Guests are welcomed with fresh flowers and fruit, a turndown and evening valet service.

Indoor heated pools, fitness centers and luxurious spas are some of the amenities for guest to enjoy. In the summer months, outdoor swimming pools, acres of beautifully maintained gardens and lovely cliff walks are favorite pastimes. Many of the cities and towns offer fine art galleries and fantastic shopping opportunities, from factory shops to designer stores and antique shops.

In-house restaurants are impossible to ignore, as they offer some of the finest cuisine around. Lobster is of course nearly always on the menu, as well as a variety of other delectable seafood. No one can resist some of the country's freshest blueberries, strawberries, and maple syrup for desert, made from the bounty of Maine's harvest. Continental breakfasts and afternoon tea are almost always on the menu.

Maine's hotels are vibrant and exciting, reminiscent of a bye-gone era of brave seafarers and pioneers but with all the modern amenities and facilities expected by today's vacationers. From inns to separate cottages, ski lodges and restored mansions, all visitors are in for a real treat and will bask in the kind hospitality, restorative and fine cuisine and the many outdoor and indoor pursuits these hotels offer.
