Historic Hospitality

Experience a Warm Welcome in the Heart of Ogunquit

Long ago, before Ogunquit had a library, a bridge that connected the mainland to the beach, street lamps, or even electricity, there stood The Colonial Inn.

Now the last of the grand hotels of Ogunquit, The Colonial Inn has provided shelter and genuine Maine hospitality for over 130 years.

Over the years the inn has expanded, growing into a beautiful and welcoming getaway destination with four different buildings that house a variety of accommodations, a heated outdoor pool & hot tub, fire pit, lawn games and a beautiful wrap-around porch to enjoy the fresh air and truly relax.

***Please note, our pool and hot tub area opens for Memorial Day weekend on May 26th.

Experience a Perfect Setting in the Heart of Ogunquit

Commanding a premier location in the center of Ogunquit, halfway between downtown and Perkins Cove, The Colonial Inn serves as a convenient vantage point from which to explore all the great activities and things to do in Ogunquit. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from the entrance to the idyllic coastal walk, Marginal Way, a five minute walk into the village of Ogunquit, and a ten minute walk to the beautiful beaches that have made the area a popular vacation destination. During the summer, our historic Ogunquit inn features a trolley stop out front allowing guests to leave their cars behind while they enjoy the area.
