Hotels in Rockland Maine: What We Could Confirm

250 Main Hotel

250 Main Hotel is the best-known boutique stay among hotels in Rockland Maine. The address is 250 Main Street, Rockland, ME 04841. The phone number on the Visit Maine listing is 207-594-5994. Visit Maine describes a five-story, art-inspired boutique hotel in the downtown arts district with views of Penobscot Bay and Rockland Harbor.

Visit Maine lists 26 guest rooms and suites, and says many have private balconies. Michelin lists 28 rooms, so the room count differs by source. The Visit Maine listing mentions a light breakfast with locally roasted coffee and baked goods, outdoor terraces, and a rooftop deck. The Michelin listing adds a rooftop terrace with a bar, free parking, free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk, and a fully non-smoking policy.

Michelin gives check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The Camden Rockland Chamber of Commerce page describes a pet-friendly hotel with daily wine socials, art by Maine artists on each floor, and a concierge tablet in each room. Visit Maine says select rooms are pet friendly, and Michelin says pets stay for a fee. Call the hotel to ask which rooms take pets and what the policy costs before you book.

None of these pages states whether the hotel is open today. Seasonal hours appear on the Visit Maine listing. Call 207-594-5994 to confirm dates, breakfast service, and the rooftop bar before you plan around them.

Rockland Harbor Hotel

Rockland Harbor Hotel stands at 520 Main Street, Rockland, ME 04841. The phone number on Visit Maine is 207-594-2131. Visit Maine calls the property a harbor-view hotel in downtown Rockland, within walking distance of the Farnsworth Art Museum, restaurants, and the working waterfront.

Visit Maine lists a complimentary hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, in-room coffee makers, guest laundry, a patio fire pit, and a small market for snacks and travel supplies. Select rooms have water views. Expedia lists 82 rooms, a 4:00 PM check-in, an 11:00 AM check-out, and rooms with balconies. Expedia also says only service animals are allowed, so do not bring a pet without calling first.

Frommer’s names Rockland Harbor Hotel as one of the older hotels in town now marketed as boutique. Expedia shows guest reviews dated November 2026, which suggests the hotel is operating now. Breakfast format may vary by season. Expedia describes the breakfast as to-go, while Visit Maine calls the meal a hot breakfast. Ask the front desk what you will get on your dates.

Trade Winds on the Bay and the Harborline Hotel

Our old guide listed a Trade Winds Inn in a historic building from the 1800s. We could not verify a historic building. What we could verify is a bigger change. The Trade Winds property at 2 Park Drive in Rockland sits on the harbor. Mainebiz reported the Trade Winds Inn faced closure after 56 years. The Bangor Daily News then reported in April 2025 on a renovated section of the property, now called the Harborline Hotel.

According to the Bangor Daily News, the Harborline Hotel opened in early April 2025 with 56 renovated rooms. Rooms received new bathrooms, furniture, flooring, and paint. Some have kitchenettes for longer stays. The paper also reported a new lobby, and the owner plans a rooftop bar and lounge after the coming season. The rest of the property remains Trade Winds on the Bay, with a restaurant and lounge and some timeshare units.

Visit Maine lists Trade Winds on the Bay at 2 Park Drive, phone 207-596-6661. The listing mentions oceanfront rooms with refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee makers, plus an indoor pool, a sauna, a fitness center, free Wi-Fi, and pet-friendly rooms. We could not find a phone number or booking page for the Harborline Hotel itself. Call the Trade Winds number and ask which section you are booking, what the rooms include, and whether the pool and sauna are open.

Inns and Bed and Breakfasts: Where to Stay in Rockland

Rockland has a strong group of historic inns. Several sit in the historic district near downtown. All of the inns below list breakfast with the room. Inns often keep seasonal schedules, so call each one for dates.

Berry Manor Inn

Berry Manor Inn is at 81 Talbot Avenue, Rockland, ME 04841. The phone is 207-596-7696, and the toll-free number is 800-774-5692. The inn website lists private en-suite baths, in-room temperature controls, free high-speed internet, flat-screen TVs, and daily housekeeping. Breakfast and evening sweets come with the room, and the inn is known for homemade pies.

The inn website says the inn has operated for more than 25 years. The website also reports TripAdvisor honors and a state of Maine environmental leader certification. A 2010 article by Peter Greenberg describes a grand Victorian mansion built in 1898 with eight guest rooms. We could not confirm the current room count. The website does not list check-in times or pet and child policies, so ask by phone.

LimeRock Inn

LimeRock Inn stands at 96 Limerock Street, Rockland, ME 04841. The phone is 207-594-2257. Visit Maine lists eight rooms in a Queen Anne-style Victorian mansion with a turret, a wraparound porch, and landscaped gardens in the historic district. The listing places the inn within walking distance of the Farnsworth Museum, shopping, and dining.

Visit Maine says a three-course breakfast comes with in-season rates. Each room has a private bath, and the inn offers internet access. Peter Greenberg dates the mansion to 1892 and says a congressman had the home built. Down East readers voted the inn Maine’s best B and B in 2013 and 2014. The listing shows seasonal hours without dates, so call before you plan a shoulder-season trip.

Old Granite Inn

Old Granite Inn is at 546 Main Street, Rockland, ME 04841. The phone is 207-594-9036. Visit Maine describes a historic stone building on Main Street overlooking Rockland Harbor, with eight guest rooms including two two-room suites. Rooms mix contemporary and mid-century styling with some antiques and work by Maine artists.

Visit Maine lists a full breakfast each morning with fruit, house-baked scones or muffins, and a rotating hot entree. The listing calls all rooms kid friendly and pet friendly. A second listing on Purple Roofs says pets are allowed but guests should call first.

One warning applies. Real estate sites show listings for the building at 546 Main Street. We could not confirm whether the inn is still operating under its current owners. Call 207-594-9036 before you book.

The Lindsey Hotel (Formerly Captain Lindsey House Inn)

The Lindsey Hotel stands at 5 Lindsey Street, Rockland, ME 04841. The phone is 207-466-9015. Hospitality Maine lists a family-owned, nine-room boutique hotel with private en-suite bathrooms. Guests share a living room, a dining room, a library, and a courtyard.

Older guides call this building the Captain Lindsey House Inn. Greenberg dates the building to 1835 and says a sea captain built the house. Old listings on other sites may still use the former name. We could not confirm breakfast, check-in times, or pet rules. Ask when you call.

Hampton Inn and Suites: Hotels Near Rockland in Thomaston

Travelers who want a chain hotel will find one just outside the city. Visit Maine lists Hampton Inn and Suites Rockland at 190 New County Road, Thomaston, ME 04861. The phone is 207-594-6644. The listing mentions a free hot breakfast, a fitness center, and an indoor pool.

Visit Maine places the hotel off Route 1 and says downtown Rockland is a few minutes away. We did not source a drive time, so check a map for your route. The listing gives no check-in or check-out times. We found one detailed source for this hotel, so treat the details as unconfirmed and call before you book.

What Changed Since Our Old Guide

Our earlier version of this page listed five properties and described each in general terms. We rechecked each one. Berry Manor Inn, 250 Main Hotel, and Rockland Harbor Hotel remain on this page with verified addresses and phone numbers. Hampton Inn and Suites remains with a Thomaston location.

We dropped several claims. The old page described the Trade Winds Inn as a historic building from the 1800s. We found no support for this. The old page also said 250 Main had a rooftop bar and on-site restaurant. Sources mention a rooftop deck or terrace, and only one mentions a bar. None mention a restaurant. The old page said Rockland Harbor Hotel had a continental breakfast, but the hotel listing now says hot breakfast. We also added LimeRock Inn, Old Granite Inn, and The Lindsey Hotel, which are real Rockland lodgings with listings of their own.

How to Choose Among Hotels in Rockland Maine

Start with the kind of stay you want. Boutique hotels suit couples and short art-focused trips. Inns suit travelers who want breakfast served by a host and a quiet street. A larger property suits families who want a pool or kitchenette.

For a walkable stay, look at the Main Street properties. 250 Main Hotel, Rockland Harbor Hotel, and Old Granite Inn all have Main Street addresses. LimeRock Inn sits on Limerock Street in the historic district. Check each address on a map to judge the walk to the places you plan to visit.

For a pool, look at Trade Winds on the Bay and the Hampton Inn and Suites in Thomaston. For pets, three properties say they accept pets in some form. These are 250 Main Hotel, Old Granite Inn, and Trade Winds on the Bay. Rockland Harbor Hotel allows service animals only, according to Expedia. Always confirm fees and room limits by phone.

Plan ahead for summer and fall. Many Rockland inns list seasonal hours, and small properties have few rooms. Book early and ask about minimum stays.

The Farnsworth Art Museum is at 16 Museum Street, Rockland, ME 04841. The phone is 207-596-6457.

Rockland Breakwater and Maine Lighthouse Museum

Visit Maine says the Rockland Breakwater stretches 4,346 feet into Rockland Harbor. Time Out describes a walk of about half an hour on uneven granite blocks with gaps, and says the trail is not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. The lighthouse dates to 1902, and visitors can climb to the lantern and walk the railed platform. Check conditions and hours with the Friends of Rockland Harbor Lights before you go.

The Maine Lighthouse Museum sits on the downtown waterfront overlooking the breakwater. The museum website says the collection includes a large set of Fresnel lenses. Hours vary by season. The museum closes in January and February, and hours drop after Columbus Day. Call before you go.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We aimed to check each property in two independent sources, including Visit Maine, the Camden Rockland Chamber of Commerce, Michelin, Frommer’s, Expedia, Hospitality Maine, Purple Roofs, and the Bangor Daily News. The Maine State Ferry Service, Farnsworth Art Museum, and Maine Lighthouse Museum websites supplied attraction details.

We did not quote room rates. Rates change daily. We could not confirm check-in and check-out times for most properties. We could not confirm whether each property is open today. Old Granite Inn needs a phone call because of the sale listings. The Harborline Hotel has no phone number we could find. Hampton Inn and Suites rests mostly on one detailed source. Call each property to confirm before you book.
