Maine
United StatesMaine offers a distinctly New England brand of luxury — understated, authentic, and deeply connected to the landscape. Portland has become one of America's great food cities with boutique hotels in the Arts District and Old Port that pair beautifully with the dining scene. The coast from Kennebunkport to Bar Harbor delivers classic seaside inn experiences, from grand Victorian hotels to intimate captain's houses. Acadia National Park and its gateway town of Bar Harbor provide nature-forward luxury with ocean views and hiking from your doorstep. The Midcoast region — Camden, Rockport, Rockland — offers harbor-town charm with increasingly sophisticated accommodations. In winter, Maine's ski country at Sunday River and Sugarloaf attracts mountain lodge aficionados.
