About The Colonial Inn

Long ago, before Ogunquit had a library, a bridge that connected the mainland to the beach, street lamps, or even electricity, there stood The Colonial Inn. Now the last of the grand hotels of Ogunquit, The Colonial Inn has provided shelter and genuine Maine hospitality for over 130 years. Over the years the inn has expanded, consisting of 62 rooms spread over four buildings, a heated outdoor pool & hot tub, fire pit, lawn games, and a beautiful wrap-around porch to enjoy the fresh air and truly relax.
