The Breakwater Inn in Kennebunkport, Maine, has reopened following a full-scale renovation of its harborside guest rooms and the debut of a trio of restaurants and bars.
The 35-room boutique hotel’s interiors were updated by Hurlbutt Designs. The coastal Maine property’s updated design blends its original 1880s cottage architecture with contemporary comfort and style, according to the company.
The renovation has refreshed each guestroom in the 15-unit Harbor Building while looking to preserve the property's historic charm and maritime character. The original Inn Building—with 20 waterfront guestrooms, most with private decks—has also been refreshed.
The Breakwater Inn's 35 rooms have been redesigned to combine classic nautical elegance with water views and modern comfort. All guest rooms feature beautiful furnishings, soothing color palettes and classically styled fabrics, according to the company. Each private bath includes Bethel white stone vanities, silk and terry spa-style robes and fine bath amenities by Gilchrist and Soames.
Meanwhile, the River Top Cottage features a deep soaking whirlpool and panoramic water views. The lobby showcases clean, contemporary wood floors and glass doors opening to a deck and lawn along the coast, according to the company.
The hotel introduces three distinct new dining venues to Kennebunkport. Port Fish & Chophouse opens for a daily ocean view bar and dinner service, showcasing a special “Happy Hour” menu of appetizers and drinks. Tin Bar is located on the ground level of the Breakwater Inn and features a unique menu of tinned fish, appetizers, classic cocktails and international and domestic beers. Mabel's Pantry—the hotel's new breakfast restaurant—is open to the public from 7:30-11:00 a.m. and located directly across the street from the Breakwater in Mabel’s House.
In addition, the property offers versatile indoor and outdoor settings with event rooms, buyout options, multiple bars, and tented setups for up to 150 guests, according to the company.
