We loved our stay at the Bluenose. We had a great room with a view of the harbor and our only regret is that we had a full schedule of activities and didn't get to take advantage of just hanging out on the deck. The hotel and spa/work out areas were very clean. After dinner out we would return to the hotel and enjoy a cocktail while listening to the piano player. Highly recommend!

Bar Harbor - cozy bay view stay

Charming older building that’s very well maintained. Our room had a stunning view of the Frenchman Bay—sunrise was a highlight. Comfortable beds, in-room coffee machine, plus extra coffee and water in the lobby. The massage chair was an unexpected treat. Clean, with luxurious toiletries. Walking distance to downtown and just a short drive to Acadia National Park. Peaceful, convenient, and relaxing stay.
