The Spa at Blair Hill Inn

The Spa at Blair Hill Inn gave me the best massage I’ve had in all of New England. My regular readers know that I get a massage or two each month, so this is no small thing.

We’ve spent quite a bit of time in Portland, Maine, and out of all of the hotels we’ve enjoyed there, The Evalina Hotel has been our favorite.
