The hotel

Just as you’d picture a New England coastal home, The Grand Hotel has all the gable roofed charm, dove-grey and white exteriors, column-clad porches, and upscale decor that make Maine so instantly recognisable. Perched on Chase Hill, just a stroll from downtown Kennebunkport, this classic retreat may be grand in style, with its own gallery of local artists’ works, but it’s intimate in atmosphere, with just 17 guestrooms to guarantee a homely feel. The home comforts also come in the shape of free WiFi, free parking, and free use of their cruiser bikes, so you can nip down to the shops, cycle off to one of the town’s clam shacks, or head out to explore Kennebunk’s other majestic old homes, once owned by 18th and 19th century captains of industry or shipping.

Room was very nice, bed comfortable, bathroom shower exceptional, loved the radiant heat in the bathroom floor. The hotel was very convenient to Dock Square, and room rate comparable. We felt welcomed and enjoyed surroundings. Due to time of year (end of February), some restaurants were not open but excellent choices otherwise.

The Grand Hotel is stunning, classy, romantic, and in a prime location. Winter rates are impressive! The art work inside The Grand is beautiful and the staff was very kind and helpful. The bed was the most comfortable mattress we have ever slept on! The heated bathroom floor was also a nice upgrade. Thank you and we will be back!

I tried to call the number three times in the evening to get someone to fix the tv—but finally the third time the woman on the other end said that no one was available and was apologetic. This should never be the case when one is paying the room rate that they are charging! Read less

Spent a few nights at the Grand Hotel. It’s location is wont. Don’t need to drive...your right in the heart of all the restaurants and shops. The breakfast comes out fresh every morning. Staff is very warm and made some real good suggestions. Don’t skip Cadillac mountain.
