Hotel Bridgton Set To Make Debut In Summer 2026

A new chapter is unfolding in Bridgton with the highly anticipated opening of Hotel Bridgton set for summer 2026.

Designed to reflect the town’s defining character while introducing a new level of hospitality to the region, the 65-room boutique property is being developed from the ground up as a project with purpose; one that honors Bridgton’s vibrant community spirit, fuels economic growth, and positions the town as a premier four-season destination in Maine’s Lake Region.

Entrepreneur Justin McIver, founder of Main Eco Homes and third generation Bridgton native, is the owner and leading the development of this project. This influence can be seen in the property’s use of natural materials, sustainable construction practices that will include installation of solar panels to offset energy usage, and intimate design details, creating the warmth and comfort of a lakeside retreat rather than a traditional hotel.

Inspired by the textures and palette of the Lakes Region, the project is being built, developed, and designed by McIver’s Main Eco Homes in partnership with Portland, Maine-based Olympia Hospitality, which will also manage the independent hotel upon opening. Additional partners include Barba + Wheelock & The Architectural Team (TAT), JBrice Design International along with Norway Savings Bank and Kennebec Savings Bank.
