Inn By the Sea | Hotel in Cape Elizabeth, Maine

Inn By the Sea is a hotel in Cape Elizabeth, set within easy reach of Crescent Beach and with Portland’s Merrill Auditorium and Portland Observatory still in view of a simple, workable stay. It gives you a coastal address without losing the calm structure of a city break, with straightforward access to the wider area and Portland International Jetport Airport a short drive away.

Inside, the rooms are built for an easy reset. Every room has air conditioning and a desk, while some units add a kitchen with a fridge, a dishwasher, and an oven, giving you more flexibility for longer stays or quieter mornings. Where available, those extras make it easy to settle in, unpack, and move through the day at your own pace.

Shared spaces support that same rhythm. There is a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness center, a garden, a shared lounge, and a terrace, along with a bar and a restaurant serving American cuisine. Free WiFi runs throughout the property, and the 24-hour front desk keeps arrivals and questions simple. Guests can also request vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and the property offers activities in and around Cape Elizabeth, including cycling.

For travelers who want a practical base with oceanfront access, parking, and thoughtful on-site services, Inn By the Sea keeps the focus on comfort and convenience. It is the kind of stay that lets you spend less time coordinating and more time taking in the day, with a relaxed, polished feel that stays with you after you leave.
