Bar Harbor Inn & Spa Review
Originally established in the late 1800s as a men's social club, this waterfront inn has rooms spread out over three buildings on well-landscaped grounds. Most rooms have gas fireplaces and balconies with great views. Rooms in the Oceanfront Lodge have private decks overlooking the ocean. Many rooms in the main inn have balconies overlooking the harbor. A luxury spa offers everything from massages and mud wraps to aromatherapy and facials. A terrific restaurant, the Reading Room ($$$$), serves Continental fare along with Maine specialties such as lobster pie and Indian pudding. There's live music here nightly in peak season. At the outdoor Terrace Grill you can order a lobster bake with all the fixings.
