Quick trip to Bar Harbor
We were looking for a nice, convenient hotel in the heart of Bar Harbor for our one night stay before heading to Nova Scotia on the ferry.
From The Bar Harbor Grand, everything is walkable which is so convenient during the busy summer months. The rooms are large, comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast in the AM is an added bonus.
It is a nice treat to stay here and will do so again in the future.

The beds were comfortable. The room was spacious. The breakfast was wonderful. The proximity to the park was perfect. The ability to walk right out the front door and be right on the main street in Bar Harbor was amazing
