The Colony Hotel ~ Leisure Guests

Putting Green, Lawn, Pool, Beach and Ocean View Uniquely situated to take advantage of Kennebunkport's climate. Generations of visitors to Kennebunkport know that there is a special secret about this place. For most, it's an indefinable quality, a bit of a riddle:

It's a certain magic ~ It's in the air ~ It's the Ocean.

Visitors to The Colony Hotel learn that the secret is a combination of all of those things.

The Ocean Tempers the Climate.

There is a certain magic. A slight easterly curve in the coastline, just to the west. It is in the air. Because of that easterly curve, the southwest breeze that blows year 'round comes off the ocean, not the land. It is the ocean. Bellman greets guests at the entrance The ocean cools the breeze in spring and summer and warms it in the fall and winter.

Nestled between the mouth of the Kennebunk River and the tip of St. Ann's point, The Colony Hotel faces the southwesterly breeze head on but is protected from the spring and fall easterly storm winds by the headland behind and to the east of it. There is no other place like it, anywhere.

Summer guests who find that the cooling waters at the beach are just a little too cool find refreshment with a dive into the pool. The same Atlantic waters that cool the air fill the pool and are warmed just enough to provide refreshment.
