York Harbor Inn - York Harbor, ME

Hotel at a Glance: York Harbor Inn

The York Harbor Inn is actually a collection of six separate lodges, each with its own special details but all with vintage, East Coast decor. Located in York, a charming town along Maine’s picturesque coastline, the inn was named in Fodor’s list of the “10 best luxury hotels to visit in the off-season.” The award was given in part for its abundance of excellent dining options, its easy access to the nearby Kittery Outlets, and its homey atmosphere, with obvious nods to Maine’s colonial history.

• Where you’ll stay: Luxury rooms at Chapman and Harbor Crest and Country Inn rooms at the Main Inn exude a quaint Maine coast aesthetic. Some come with a fireplace or spa tub, and views of the ocean.
• Fine dining: The acclaimed 1637 Restaurant is helmed by Chef Gerald Bonsey, called one of Maine’s top chefs by Portland magazine.
• Free perk: York Harbor Inn offers free grab & go continental breakfast each morning (includes hot breakfast sandwich).
• Take a walk: The inn is only steps from the ocean and Harbor Beach (the “local’s beach”) while Chapman and Harbor Crest are within walking distance of the Wiggly Bridge and York River
• A VIP Concierge card with discounts to local businesses and attractions exclusive to YHI guests is included with each stay. Visit here for more info.
