West Street Hotel

About The Hotel

Rates on request for this upscale boutique property, West Street Hotel is the most contemporary in-town option, part of the Opal Collection. The stylish 4.5-rated hotel features modern rooms, many with harbor-view balconies, and a signature adults-only rooftop infinity pool with ocean views. Located on West Street at the downtown waterfront, it sits around the corner from Main Street shops and restaurants and beside the town pier. Service earns consistent praise for attentiveness and proactive pre-arrival communication. The value score of 4.18 reflects upscale pricing; you’re paying for the address, rooftop pool, and modern aesthetic. An on-site Paddy’s restaurant and a sister-hotel family pool nearby round out amenities. Some guests report uneven check-in experiences or ocean views blocked by room location.

What Guests Are Saying

“We stayed 3 nights at the West Street hotel starting Labor Day Monday. We booked a suite overlooking West Street and the Harbor. We were actually upgraded to and even nicer room. The room was spacious, well equipped and the balcony was a great place to sit and enjoy this lovely place. They have a roof top infinity pool which was nice. We took our wine up but you can order drinks and food directly from the pool area. The staff was excellent, and we were greeted every time we came and went. Fin the dog was also a nice touch for us. The location is great and is just around the corner from the main street drag with shops and restaurants. The hotel has complimentary onsite parking. We really enjoy this hotel and highly recommend booking a stay.” — maddie59, 5 stars

“Our family of 4 stayed at West Street for 3 nights in July in a connecting rooms set up with a view of the Harbour. We had a fantastic stay - it is a boutique hotel and the room was top class, very modern and tastefully decorated. The connecting room set up was perfect so we could all be together as a family but also have some quiet time when we needed it. There was a drinks and snack station in the corridor with water, tea, coffee, fruit and some energy bars. The location of the hotel is brilliant, right in the heart of Bar Harbor near all the shops and restaurants and a short drive from Acadia National Park. A much better option than places outside of town given the challenge of finding parking spaces. The hotel has a private parking lot for guests. There is a swimming pool at the hotel which is adults only and was on top of the roof with a great view of the ocean. For the kids we were able to use the pool across the road at the sister hotel which was a decent size and a great option. The hotel itself does not have a restaurant but you could order food from nearby Paddy’s. Was not a huge deal as there are so many restaurants nearby - but if you want a lot of eating options in the hotel this probably won’t work for you. Overall a fantastic stay that I would definitely recommend, although be prepared to pay top dollar.” — JACKSONJE8, 4 stars

“We stayed here two nights, in a larger king room on the 4th floor with a patio looking onto the harbor. This is located right in town, so the Main Street is right below our view with the harbor across the street. I loved being within walking distance of town so as not to worry about a car. It was fun looking out the window to see all the ships in the harbor and people roaming around. The room was extremely nice, with a sitting area, and comfortable bed. The room and bathroom were modern and updated with a nautical feel. The hotel lobby was beautiful as well, and staff very friendly. Shout out to Leon, a bellhop, who was very helpful and friendly. He confirmed our choice of an excellent restaurant, Havana. Coffee bar was in the hall rather than the room, which I actually liked because it was very well stocked with coffee, tea, bottled water and fruit. It was a bit pricey, but would highly recommend.” — Annie, 5 stars
