The riverside city of Gardiner, Maine, has a new boutique hotel. At One Lincoln Ave, a renovated 1930s Tudor-style building features eight private suites, original granite and oak, restored fireplaces, local art, and contemporary design. It’s a great base to explore a walkable historic downtown and the Kennebec River waterfront.

There’s Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, and a state-of-the-art keyless self-check-in system. Located across the street from Gardiner Common, it’s a short walk to the cafés, restaurants, and shops on downtown Water Street.

It’s also ideally situated for performances at Johnson Hall, the state’s oldest opera house, which welcomes national touring artists. Located about a 15-minute drive from Augusta, it’s a perfect base for exploring Central Maine.
