Witham Family Hotels Breaks Ground on New Home2 Suites by Hilton in Ellsworth

The weather didn't cooperate, but that didn't stop an excited group from Witham Family Hotels, city officials and the contractors from breaking ground on the new Home2 Suites in Ellsworth on Tuesday, June 10th.

Located right next door to the Hampton Inn on High Street, (owned by Witham Family Hotels),  this extended-stay property will bring 83  designed suites to the region—perfect for guests looking for extra space, flexibility, and a comfortable home base for longer visits.

This new hotel reflects Witham Family Hotels continued commitment to meeting the needs of modern travelers while deepening their roots in Ellsworth. They are especially proud that the project will create approximately 30 full-time, year-round jobs. Witham Family Hotels has been honored as one of the Best Places to Work in Maine. At Witham Family Hotels people are at the heart of everything they do, and they are looking forward to welcoming even more team members to the Witham Family Hotels community.

“We love being part of the Ellsworth story,” said David Witham, CEO of Witham Family Hotels. “This new Home2 Suites not only gives visitors a new way to experience Downeast Maine—it also represents continued growth and opportunity for our incredible local team.”

Designed with longer stays in mind, the hotel will offer amenities like in-room kitchenettes, a guest laundry, fitness center, and complimentary breakfast—plus all the thoughtful service that guests have come to expect. Whether someone is here for work, exploring Acadia National Park, or simply enjoying all that the Ellsworth area has to offer, Witham Family Hotels is proud to provide a space that feels like home.

Opening is expected in 2026
