The Best Hotels in Kennebunkport, by the Record
The best hotels in Kennebunkport, by the professional record: Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. AWOL Kennebunkport comes out on top.
Kennebunkport Captains Collection and Hidden Pond hold the next two places.
-
A historic sea captain's house anchors this boutique hotel on the edge of Kennebunkport's compact town center, with eleven modern cabin suites spread across the surrounding grounds. The design, by Elder & Ash, lands somewhere between old Maine and contemporary coastal, which is a trickier balance than it sounds in a town better known for Bush family compounds and old-money shingle cottages. A Michelin Key holder.
-
A cluster of Federal-era sea captains' homes on a quiet, tree-lined street, the Captains Collection operates as an upscale bed-and-breakfast in what might be the most tastefully patrician small town in New England. Kennebunkport has been a presidential retreat for generations, which tells you something about the pace. Galleries and antique shops are a short walk away, and the Michelin Guide awarded it a Key.
