Yes! Ideally located on the Bar Harbor waterfront the Bar Harbor Inn offers breathtaking water views and easy access to town. Leave your car here and take a short walk, only 500 feet, up the driveway and be right in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor, just steps away from dining, shopping and activities.
Bar Harbor is quite small, with very little public parking – so the best way to get around town is to walk or bike.
Mount Desert Island on the other hand is quite big, so it’s best to take you car to distant places. Unless you are up for riding your bike long distances. Mind the hills!
From June 23rd until October 10th there are Island Explorer shuttles that will take you around Mount Desert Island & Acadia National Park on various scheduled routes. Simply speak to the front desk to pick up a schedule map at the front desk or go to www.exploreacadia.com for viewing on your phone
The Reading Room offers guests of the Inn, visitors to Bar Harbor, and our dearly loved regulars a distinguished fine dining experience overlooking Frenchman Bay.
The Terrace Grille is one of Bar Harbor’s premier outdoor restaurants. Centrally located at the end of West Street next to the town pier – look for the iconic yellow umbrellas and you’ll know you have arrived.
The Bistro offers something for everyone. Experience casual fine dining and a full bar in a relaxed atmosphere, with local and international cuisine. Enjoy the views of Frenchman Bay near one of our floor-to-ceiling windows or take in the fresh salt air on our deck or patio. We’re open for dinner with seating for 25 plus balcony seating in season.
