Celestial-themed independent boutique hotel on the University of Maine campus in Orono, with 95 rooms in restored 1888 halls plus a new-build wing, a café, and a library lounge.
Hotel Ursa is an independent boutique hotel set on the University of Maine campus in Orono, near Bangor. Opened by converting two of the university's oldest buildings — the 1888 Coburn and Holmes Halls, both on the National Register of Historic Places — along with a newly built Polaris wing designed to match, the property offers 95 rooms and suites. The celestial theme, drawn from the Ursa Major and Ursa Minor constellations, runs through beautifully restored interiors that display features and artifacts from UMaine's history. A coffee bar, library lounge, fitness room, and ample common spaces round out the experience. Steps from the Collins Center for the Arts and a short drive from Bangor's dining and culture, it is a stylish, characterful alternative to the highway chains in central Maine.
