First Serve Hospitality Group, a Kittery firm that’s acquired and renovated a number of southern Maine properties in recent years, completed a makeover of a Kennebunkport inn that dates back to the 1880s.
The Breakwater, a 35-room boutique hotel, reopened July 1.
“When First Serve acquired Breakwater Inn, the property had good bones and a strong reputation to be in such a great location amongst the community, but was in need of significant aesthetic and structural updates,” Mary Pugliese, First Serve’s director of operations, told Mainebiz.
First Serve acquired the inn, at 127 Ocean Ave., from Lafayette Hotel Groups in January for an undisclosed price. Roger Daigle of Daigle Commercial Group brokered the off-market deal.
