Hotel Overview

Thirteen acres of spruce and birch wrap the Best Western Acadia Park Inn, in Bar Harbor, Maine, putting one of the country's most beautiful national parks almost at the front door.

Acadia National Park spreads pink-granite peaks, surf-pounded cliffs and carriage roads across Mount Desert Island, where sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain, the highest headland on the eastern seaboard, and the famous Thunder Hole and Jordan Pond are all cared for by the National Park Service. Out of Bar Harbor's wharves, whale-watching boats and lobster cruises head into Frenchman Bay.

After a day on the trails, pools and a free breakfast wait back among the trees, with the village and the park entrance a short walk away. Downtown Bar Harbor is filled with ice-cream shops, galleries and seafood spots a short walk from the inn, while carriage roads and quiet ponds wait just inside the park. Sea air and the smell of balsam settle over the ground at dusk.
