The Colony Hotel
History
The Colony was built in 1914 and has been owned by the Boughton family since 1948, who maintain a reputation of excellence to this day. In 1994 it turned its attention to conservation, initiating the Colony Hotel Ecology Group and becoming the state’s first environmentally responsible hotel. Its practice of energy conservation, recycling, waste reduction and cultural stability helped to qualify it as a U.S. Backyard Wildlife Habitat in the state of Maine. Its sister hotel is the Colony Hotel and Cabana Club in Delray Beach, Florida.
