The Colony Hotel

The Colony is where we’ll be celebrating Saturday night! The hotel has old school New England charm and features beautiful ocean views, a heated saltwater pool, Colony Beach, a putting green, and complimentary hot breakfast. Note: This is a historic hotel. Guest rooms in the main building are cooled by ocean breezes and ceiling fans (no AC). The Coveside building is new and has AC, but no views. We strongly encourage you to book now! The Colony fills up quickly and rates increase with time. We could only block 14 rooms, but there should be plenty of availability if you book far enough in advance. Please CALL to book your room and mention “Gower-Swain Wedding.” (207) 967-3331

King's Port Inn

One of the most reasonably priced hotel options. We haven’t had experience here, but we do know it’s in a great location - steps from Dock Square’s restaurants, shopping, and coffee shops.
