An Italianate mansion on Portland’s landmark-packed west end, the boutique Pomegranate Inn(from $140) has eight rooms with unique hand-painted floral wall murals (the hydrangeas in room six are especially stunning), original artwork and sculpture, and fine linens.
The Harraseeket Inn in Freeport, only a twenty-minute drive from downtown Portland, has 84 elegant, countrified rooms, toile bedding, and fireplaces. Book the spacious Thomas Moser Room ($350) to be surrounded by the Maine designer’s sleek, Shaker-influenced furniture as well as the requisite plasma-screen TV and Bose stereo.
