PB hotel design editorial

The rocky Maine coastline at Kennebunkport, where weather-beaten shingle buildings have stood against Atlantic winters for well over a century, provides the setting for one of New England's most enduring small hotels. White Barn Inn, now part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, grew from a nineteenth-century farmstead into a property of around 37 rooms and suites spread across the main house, cottages, and outbuildings — its shingled exterior and fieldstone chimneys sitting against the tidal estuary with the unhurried confidence of a family compound assembled across generations rather than conceived as a single gesture. The interiors navigate two distinct registers with considerable ease. Guest rooms in the cottage buildings lean into coastal domesticity — painted iron beds, striped ticking benches, stone fireplaces with wrought-iron screens, and coffered ceilings washed in soft slate blue, with botanical wallcoverings that feel sourced from a well-stocked linen cupboard rather than a hotel catalogue. The main house rooms take a warmer, more layered approach: ebonized four-poster beds, camelback sofas in oatmeal wool, buffalo-check draperies layered over bamboo shades, and rush-seated ottomans arranged on sisal. The restaurant, housed in a converted nineteenth-century barn, is the property's architectural centerpiece — original timber framing, hand-hewn post-and-beam construction, and a tall glazed gable end flooding the room with garden light while antique farm implements and wooden pulleys remain fixed overhead, untouched.

"If a warm, inviting, relaxing atmosphere is what you are looking for, look no further. Visiting the White Barn Inn was a unique experience if for no other reason than the exceptional service. The staff attention to detail was like nothing I'd ever experienced. The entire staff made us feel like we were the most important guests that they'd ever had."

"After spending roughly 150 nights per year in hotels for both business and personal travel, I can confidently say that my stay at White Barn Inn, Auberge Resorts Collection was one of the absolute best hotel experiences I have ever had. The property itself is incredible. It is intimate with a small number of guest rooms, which makes the entire experience feel personal, peaceful, and special from the moment you arrive. What truly makes this place exceptional, however, is the staff. Every single person we encountered was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. The valet team was fantastic and incredibly friendly. Each time we arrived, the passenger door was opened for me with such care. Small gestures like that make a stay memorable. Nhia at the front desk was an absolute glowing light. Her warmth, recommendations, and thoughtfulness elevated the entire experience. She greeted us each time with such kindness and helped make our weekend feel truly special. There was also a blonde, curly-haired gentleman who checked us in and was equally lovely. The entire team clearly takes pride in making guests feel cared for. The little touches throughout the stay were wonderful. Fresh coffee and pastries delivered to our door in the morning was such a thoughtful start to the day. The hotel’s partnership with Mercedes, allowing guests to test drive vehicles during their stay, was also a fun and unique experience. My boyfriend is already talking about getting a new car. The food was phenomenal. We made it a point to experience everything, dining at all of the restaurants as well as enjoying room service. Every meal was beautifully presented and arrived quickly. Dinner at the White Barn Inn restaurant was a highlight of our weekend. The setting is breathtaking and the entire experience felt incredibly special. We stayed in the Tern Cottage, which sits just across from the main property on the water. It was beautifully designed with every detail thoughtfully considered. The fireplace, the views, and the peaceful setting made it perfect for a romantic couples getaway. We recently stayed at The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern, Auberge Resorts Collection and had a wonderful trip there as well, but this stay felt even more intimate and memorable to me. Thank you to the entire team for such an exceptional experience. This place is truly special and we cannot wait to return."

"I had such a fantastic stay at White Barn Inn. From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The property itself was beautiful, clean, and incredibly comfortable, but what truly made the experience special was the staff. Every single person I interacted with was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed and were always happy to help with recommendations or small requests. You can tell the staff truly care about the guest experience, and it made the entire stay feel effortless and relaxing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where the service is just as outstanding as the hotel itself!"

"My stay at the White Barn Inn in Kennebunk was exceptional from start to finish. The visit began on a high note thanks to the warm, friendly welcome from the front desk team and valet—each interaction felt genuinely professional and personal. One of the highlights of my stay was the relaxing massage I enjoyed at the inn’s lovely spa. The atmosphere was calming, and the therapists made sure every detail contributed to a peaceful experience. Each morning, I looked forward to the thoughtful coffee delivery right to my cottage by the river. It was such a simple gesture, yet it made my mornings feel incredibly cozy and unhurried. The location of the inn—and especially the cottages—is truly ideal. Whether I wanted to stroll into town to explore the charming shops and cafés or wander down to the beach for some quiet time by the water, everything was just a pleasant walk away. Altogether, it was the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and New England charm. I couldn’t have asked for a more delightful stay."
