The Bar Harbor Grand Hotel is a 70-room hotel in Bar Harbor, a resort town on Mount Desert Island off the coast of Maine and a popular destination for thousands of visitors who come each year to nearby Acadia National Park. An infill development close to downtown, the hotel visually complements the surrounding pedestrian-scale commercial area. The property—new construction that is architecturally modeled after one of Bar Harbor’s 19th-century “golden age” hotels—combines historic ambience with modern amenities.
