Cape
Elizabeth, Maine - September 3, 2009 - The transformation
of
Inn by the Sea into Maine's premier luxury beach destination was
recently completed after a massive multi-million dollar makeover. The
renovation has seamlessly wed contemporary amenities with traditional
coastal charm to create an atmosphere of upscale elegance throughout
the property.
Guests are given a touch of the red carpet treatment the instant they
are ushered into comfortable leather chairs for 'check-in' in the
beautifully renovated lobby, now open to spectacular Atlantic
views. A nautical compass rose detail on the granite floor is
repeated beyond an outdoor boulevard of planters, integrating the
landscape and ocean view into the interior. The addition of a full
service spa and cardio room, Sea Glass restaurant, fireplace lounge and
expanded decks for outdoor ocean view dining top the new facilities
list, but no area of the inn has been left without enhancement.
Set in a location of unspoiled beauty above sandy Crescent Beach the
fully renovated Inn redefines coastal eco- luxury with a combination of
modern and environmentally friendly design features. Many of
the 57 rooms and suites feature deluxe bathrooms with oversized showers
and tubs, flat screen TV's, ipod docking stations, plush bathrobes and
luxurious bedding. Guest rooms surround visitors with warmth in a
palette of deep red, cognac and charcoal, maple furnishings and
nautical or locally inspired artwork.
Well known for its eco sensitivity the Inn worked
with a LEED
consultant on the spa addition, used recycled rubber for the cardio
room floor, low VOC paint, sealants and wall coverings and recycled
sheet rock. The salinated pool is heated with solar panels, and an air
to air heat exchanger saves energy. Guests are wrapped in
bamboo towels, use 'green' recycled paper key cards and are surrounded
by indigenous landscape. The inn's sheet and towel program donates
savings to the endangered monarch butterfly.
Inn
by the Sea, Maine, press release continued... The
spa at Inn by the Sea offers quests a tranquil retreat with
indulgent pampering in two serenity rooms, one for men and one for
women, surrounded by six treatment areas with an array of services from
massage to facials. The Inn's signature Sea Waves Massage is
complimented with surround sound of soothing surf. Not to be
left out, kid approved spa treatments for teens and doggie massage for
VIP's (very important pets) are on the menu.
 "Our
goal is to offer guests true luxury, and great service
while delivering the quintessential Maine experience," said Masterson.
"The transformation of the Inn reflects an intimate, relaxed atmosphere
that is more modern and upscale, integrating the elements that made
this location a standout in the past the beauty of Crescent
beach and proximity to Portland's vibrant Old Port. Our aim is to blend
luxury, service and eco friendly initiatives with a true appreciation
for all things local."
And to that end, Sea Glass, the inn's new restaurant, serves up Maine
fare with an international flare under the direction of executive Chef
Mitch Kaldrovich. Celebrating all things Maine Kaldrovich creates
weekly menus with the freshest produce available from the sea and local
farms. Complimented by panoramic ocean views and new decor the chef's
signature dishes of seasonal game or fresh seafood paella are paired
with an extensive wine selection on view in the new wine cove.
The eco-luxury Inn by the Sea is located on Crescent Beach in the
charming coastal town of Cape Elizabeth, just minutes from Portland.
