This is the best hotel in Bar Harbor! We have stayed at their sister properties in Florida, and the service is always exceptional. The location is fantastic and the staff is super friendly.
Opened in 2012, the West Street Hotel wholeheartedly embraces its waterfront location. All 85 rooms have views of Frenchman Bay and are decorated in nautical Americana (think navy, red, and cream color schemes and lots of sailboat patterns on the upholstery). The hotel can arrange a lobstering trip on a real-deal commercial boat or an excursion to nearby Acadia National Park. There are more than 120 hiking trails that range from low-key to strenuous: Advanced climbers can summit Cadillac Mountain, the tallest peak on the U.S. Atlantic Coast. For a guided tour of the park with less effort, board Oli's Trolley, which picks up riders across the street from the hotel. This appeared in the June/July 2015 issue.
