This hotel has a history as striking as her views. The Ricker Hotel Company (of Poland Spring fame) bought and trans- formed the Bay Point Hotel in 1902 into a dazzling destination with over 1,000 feet of oceanfront. Such was her allure, the East- ern Steamship Company immediately be- gan direct routes from Boston to the Sa- moset. The resort ran aground in the early 20th century, only to come back swinging in 1972. It’s been blue skies ever since. The Samoset is named for a Pemaquid sachem who welcomed pilgrims from the Mayflower in 1620. Weary travelers to- day can settle into one of the expansive resort’s 178 hotel rooms and start book- ing spa treatments and golf lesson to the heart’s content. n
