Known as a college town due to the presence of Bowdoin College—the first established in the state of Maine—Brunswick’s personality reflects the youthful energy that seems to emanate from campus.
With its vibrant art and culture scene, there are more reasons to come to Brunswick than just to visit those newly-independent, nest-abandoning chicks for parents’ weekend—and when you do, you’ll need someplace clean, warm, and inviting nearby to lay your head.
Map of Brunswick Hotels
Here is a map of all the Brunswick hotels discussed in this article:
The Brunswick Hotel
Perched regally at the outer edge of the Bowdoin campus, The Brunswick features elegant, well-appointed guestrooms, top-notch service, and a chef-designed menu at the in-house restaurant, the Noble Kitchen & Bar.
The décor and artwork throughout this upscale hotel reflect the rich history and unique natural features of both the town and the state of Maine; students and graduates of Bowdoin will surely notice the abundance of the school’s colors (black and white).
There is a state-of-the-art fitness facility, free parking, and complimentary coffee service in the lobby every morning.
Pet-friendly rooms are available—your fur baby will also receive a treat bag upon arrival—and the entire property is smoke-free.

OneSixtyFive
Formerly the historic Brunswick Inn, the next-level OneSixtyFive is smoke-free and conveniently situated downtown, within walking distance of the college.
Featuring several lodging options—the traditional, full-concierge arrangement of the Main House, the more private, self-check-in Carriage House, and a luxurious, pet-friendly cottage for the pinnacle of privacy—this upscale hotel also has an on-site pub and a cozy, fireplaced library.
Full breakfast is available for purchase and is open to the public, as is Pub165, which features a menu of light snacks.
Guest rooms are tastefully decorated and offer several different sleeping arrangement options; there are also new, exciting spaces becoming available later in 2022—The Treehouse King and The Loft King.

The Federal
Reimagined, renovated, and renamed, The Federal has gone through many name changes over the years and seems to finally have settled into its own skin.
This “historic inn turned boutique hotel” is aptly described; with an upscale, urban vibe seamlessly melded with an underlying harmonic chord of traditional character and furnishings, the pet-friendly, non-smoking Federal is a unique combination of old and new.
Spacious, soaring common areas decorated with an eclectic blend of both 19th- and 21st-century furnishings and artwork welcome guests upon entry, setting the tone for the rest of the lodging experience.
The Federal also features a newly-opened, on-site, upscale restaurant, 555 North.
