Groups and Bus Tours

The Anchorage Inn caters to groups both big and small whether you are planning a tour series via motor coach or just visiting with a group from your hometown. We host meetings for bus tours, church and religious groups, corporate groups and of course family reunions. During the off-season (late fall and early spring), group discounts are available midweek and on some weekends depending on availability. Groups enjoy visiting during our seasonal festivals like Harvestfest and Lighting of the Nubble. Groups will find our meeting space with 3 meeting rooms each accommodating up to 45 guests on the lower level of our Atrium building.

 

     We are happy to offer your guests rooms with ocean views like no other in southern Maine along with two indoor pools for your guests to enjoy in the cooler months. Our restaurant, the Sun and Surf, offers oceanside dining and a beautiful outdoor deck overlooking the ocean.

     We enjoy annually hosting groups including bus tours, leaf peepers, educational tours, girl’s getaway weekends, family reunions, church retreats and many more! The majority of our 202 rooms offer two beds and can accommodate up to four, and our rates are per room, not per person. We offer complimentary bus parking if required, as well as round trip porterage.

     The Anchorage Inn has convenient facilities for hosting Business Conferences, Seminars, Functions and Retreats. Our 2100 square foot conference center consists of three adjacent rooms, 700 square feet each. They can be used individually, or opened up to form one large room.

     Each room can be configured as a Theater, Classroom, or tables arranged for meetings. Audio/Visual equipment can be rented on a daily basis including Podiums, Flip Charts, Dry Boards, Projection Screens, TV’s and VCR’s.

Snacks can be catered to the room for coffee breaks, and meals can be provided at the Sun and Surf Restaurant.

The Anchorage Inn is pleased to offer its facilities to overnight or multiple night bus tour groups. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner special menus are available at the Sun and Surf Restaurant and can be included in the group package price. Porterage and prepaid housekeeping are also available. We can offer extremely aggressive midweek rates in the fall leaf peeping and winter/spring off season for your bus tour. The majority of our rooms have 2 queen beds and we charge per room, not per person to allow the bus tour host to offer competitive package rates to their guests. Our cancellation policy requires 30 days notice, and we are flexible with no attrition fees. Individual rooms require 10 days notice for cancellation.

During the off season, we offer wedding blocks. We hold a maximum of 25 guestrooms in the block to start. Any guestrooms not reserved sixty days prior to the date of arrival are released at sixty days out (the cutoff date). To hold a wedding block, we require a contract which details the room types held for the group, the rates and the cutoff date. Along with a signed contract, a check for a damage deposit is also required upon contract signature. Please note there are minimums on most weekends in the fall and there is a limit to the number of wedding blocks that we can host per weekend. Please note we do not offer wedding blocks from the end of June through Labor Day as this is our busiest time of the year. If weekend rates are not locked in via a wedding block, the rates are always subject to change.
