About The Hotel
From $359/night, Bar Harbor Grand Hotel is a well-reviewed value among in-town hotels, with a 4.7 rating across 2,400+ reviews. The polished four-star property blends reliability with porch-rocker charm and consistently draws praise for friendly, attentive staff who seem genuinely invested in your comfort. Located just off the busiest blocks of Main Street, it offers walkability to shops, restaurants, and the harbor while avoiding peak foot traffic. The property includes a hot tub, pool, fitness room, and generous continental breakfast daily; some guests note the breakfast is cold rather than cooked, and family suites share a single bathroom, but the overall experience earns strong loyalty.
What Guests Are Saying
“If you want to relax and enjoy yourself, then stay at the Grand Hotel. You are in good hands with a caring staff and wonderful rooms. Parking and location near the town greens was superb. For example, my family enjoyed the rockers on the front porch, while sipping tea and playing with the hotel provided family/board games. We all enjoyed the stay. Based on our experience, you cannot go wrong staying here.” — Passport28604366406, 5 stars
“We loved our stay at the Bar Harbor Grand Hotel! The location allowed for easy walking to a multitude of restaurants, shops and easy access to the harbor area. Our King Premium room was spacious and we appreciate the room amenities. The continental breakfast was always well stocked by friendly staff and included a wide variety of options well above a normal hotel continental breakfast” — Sue S., 5 stars
“Had 2 nights late October in a family suite - so gave us the 3 beds we needed for2 teenagers & us parents and effectively 2 bedrooms. Only thing id say is if 6 people were sharing the suite a single bathroom wouldn’t be sufficient - as it was with 4 it didn’t really work at points - there is a luggage storage room which is a bit redundant as the suite is so huge there is loads of places to leave luggage - this could easily be converted into a small bathroom- even if just a toilet and sink, but I’m sure it would fit a shower too. Even with the above we had a fantastic stay - comfortable beds, lovely friendly staff and decent breakfast. Location is superb & we couldn’t ask for better. Would defo stay again & recommend this gorgeous hotel.” — rebecca C., 5 stars

What guests are saying about Bar Harbor Grand Hotel.
"We stayed at Bar Harbor Grand Hotel while visiting Acadia National Park. This hotel is conveniently located near the park. It's also within walking distance to eateries and shops. The hotel was quiet, clean and well appointed. Even the complimentary breakfast was pretty good. The staff was very polite and professional. If we were to visit Bar Harbor again, this is the hotel we would stay!"

Water pressure was good in showers for after a long hike. It’s located right on main st so easily walkable to everything in bar harbor. It comes with an amazing complimentary breakfast, cold brew coffee (which is hard to find at a hotel and I love), and free parking! Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, too. We loved the fruit infused water out every day, too! Thanks for a great stay."

The rooms are large and well maintained and the complementary breakfast is excellent. The staff is also extremely friendly and helpful. The best part though is the location. It’s an easy walk to downtown so you never have to fight for a parking space when going to dinner or browsing the shops. I can’t recommend this hotel enough."
