At Bar Harbor Grand Hotel, guests consistently highlight the central, walkable location near shops and Acadia, exceptionally friendly, helpful staff, and very clean surroundings that feel well cared for, creating a dependable base for exploring Bar Harbor.
Rooms are widely described as spacious and comfortable, with a quiet atmosphere and traditional decor. Breakfast earns frequent praise for variety and quality, and extras like rocking-chair porches, 24/7 coffee or hot chocolate, laundry, and a small outdoor pool and hot tub add convenience. Common drawbacks include buildings without elevators (and an occasional outage), the breakfast area feeling tight at times, and isolated maintenance or hot-water quirks. Expect a welcoming, well-run stay with reliable comfort.

Location was great. Building is old. I hate elevators, there is only one. It was out of order on our way out so we had to carry our luggage down the stairs. Grateful it didn’t break while we were in it. Parking was great! Staff was friendly and our room was very clean!

The hotel is spotless, immaculate. The breakfast is called a continental breakfast but is a full breakfast with variety for all eaters. The staff is kind, available and respond to any needs immediately. Location, location, location. Close to anything you might want to do, or get to in Bar Harbor. Free parking. Check amenities: anything you really need is there. Would go back.

Our room and the entire property was very clean. The bed was comfortable. There were plenty of nice amenities. There were a few options for breakfast and all were delicious. The best part was sitting in the rockers on the expansive front porch! We had coffee on the porch in the morning and wine in the evening. I would definitely come back to this hotel.

Loved the convenient location of this property in Bar Harbor - we were able to walk easily to restaurants and the waterfront. Staff were super friendly and our room was spotless, and very quiet. My son enjoyed a dip in the pool at the end of each day after exploring Acadia. The hotel had umbrellas for use, which came in handy one rainy morning. They also set up a make your own trail mix station one morning which my son loved. Breakfast was outstanding with lots of options which rotated and staff kept it well stocked and clean throughout the morning. Highly recommend!

The property is in a great location and is walking distance to a variety of shops and dining. Loved the coffee shop across the street. Rooms were nice and beds very comfortable. My only complaint is that the building we were in did not have an elevator and we had to carry our large, heavy bags up a flight of stairs. If you were in the main building there was an elevator and you could also access our building on the 3rd floor through a breezeway.

Fantastic hotel - within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants. Staff were superb- very helpful. Organised our pass to Arcadia National park. Free parking, laundry facilities and a great breakfast including lots of gluten free choices ( also a seperate toaster for GF items showing they understand the health issues coeliacs face if food is cross contaminated- the only hotel I’ve seen this level of care on our travels !) The room was spotless and spacious with a very comfortable bed. We loved Bar Harbor - lots of great restaurants-especially Geddys and Gaylins - definitely not Blaze !!! The only thing I didn’t like was the plastic cups plates and cutlery for breakfast - I understand this was needed post Covid but it feels like it’s not very eco friendly and the knives tended to snap as we were using them to butter toast etc ! Overall we loved this hotel and Bar Harbor and will definitely return- highly recommended.

My section of hotel didn’t have elevator and the door from outside was always open….. anyone from street could enter the hotel. Yikes. Aside from that the bed wasn’t as comfortable for me, but it was clean for the most part. I think the cleaning lady need to have her hair up because she left A LOT of hair everywhere. I don’t have dark brown hair.

A short walk to the waterfront, surrounded by restaurants, shopping and activities. Very close to several Acadia entrances. Coffee 24/7 and an outstanding included breakfast. We were able to utilize laundry facilities half way through our 2.5 week travels while staying here. We really cannot say enough!

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.

This hotel was a great surprise! We stayed at several hotels/inns on our trip down the Maine Coast, and this was by far the best one. Great location so we could walk to everything in Bar Harbor. The room was spacious and felt updated. The beds were very comfortable, and it was really quiet, even with the hotel being fully booked. Never heard our neighbors. My husband also appreciated the ceiling fan in the room. We used the laundry room once during our stay. It’s $4.00 per load (washer + dryer), and the front desk can exchange cash for quarters. Just plan on doing small loads because we did a larger load and the clothes were not dry after one dryer cycle. We only ate the free breakfast once, and it was just ok. Nice that it’s offered at all, so I’m not complaining. Would absolutely recommend this hotel!

Room was classically styled and fit the esthetics of the area. Only issue was the bathroom. I believe it was handicap accessible. The shower continuously leaked water into the floor. Had to use excessive towels to prevent the leak.

Bar Harbor Grand Hotel had such an inviting but also regal feel to it. The breakfast was outstanding. The gentleman running the breakfast hours went above and beyond and you could tell how hard of a worker he is. Definitely takes pride in his work and cannot say enough how wonderful he was. The only hiccup we had was upon check-in. The lady checking us in tried to pawn our check in process onto a gentleman. The room we were given was lovely, but someone smoked in it. The front desk was quick to arrange another room but denied that anyone smoked in the original one (it was extremely strong, and the room under it didn't smell at all). I'd rather hear accountability - especially since it wasn't their fault someone didn't adhere to the rules. My daughter loved all the treats and fruit flavored water options. I would stay here again.

The other little girl who was at the front desk was just so pleasant as well. I didn't catch her name. Joshua who was at breakfast each morning is absolutely an asset. He is so friendly and so professional and so courteous. We love him! Anytime we spoke to someone at the front desk they were nice to us. Very clean rooms. Very nice breakfast. Very nice staff.

The Bar Harbor Grand was the perfect place for our stay. I was traveling with my sister and both of our husbands (kid-free trip), but there were a few families there with children who seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. The free breakfast in the morning was lively with the wait staff being very bubbly and attentive and we had fun conversations with other guests too. Eggs were served every morning along with biscuits, fruit, oatmeal, sourdough bread (my favorite) and all the juice, tea and coffee you could want (coffee and tea being available 24/7). The people behind the counter when we checked in, and then every morning after, were welcoming and always asking us how our stay was going, quick to answer any questions and offered travel and food suggestions. It felt more personal than staying at a big chain hotel, but had all the amenities of a big chain hotel. Parking was really easy and the hotel is walkable to just about most things in Bar Harbor: shops, restaurants, sightseeing. It's just a few minutes drive to get into Acadia and we also loved how close it was to the sandbar which is walkable during low tide and not to be missed! Oddly the only strange thing we could say about the hotel is that there seemed to be a female manager, tall and thin wearing a blazer, who occasionally zipped in and out of the eating area or stairwell and she was the least friendly person there. Everyone else was absolutely warm and welcoming the whole time! Luckily we only saw her twice.
The Bar Harbor Grand was the perfect place for our stay. I was traveling with my sister and both of our husbands (kid-free trip), but there were a few families there with children who seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. The free breakfast in the morning was lively with the wait staff being very bubbly and attentive and we had fun conversations with other guests too. Eggs were served every morning along with biscuits, fruit, oatmeal, sourdough bread (my favorite) and all the juice, tea and coffee you could want (coffee and tea being available 24/7). The people behind the counter when we checked in, and then every morning after, were welcoming and always asking us how our stay was going, quick to answer any questions and offered travel and food suggestions. It felt more personal than staying at a big chain hotel, but had all the amenities of a big chain hotel. Parking was really easy and the hotel is walkable to just about most things in Bar Harbor: shops, restaurants, sightseeing. It's just a few minutes drive to get into Acadia and we also loved how close it was to the sandbar which is walkable during low tide and not to be missed!

The check-in was a great experience and they let us know everything we could need. Each kid was given a stuffed animal when we got there. Breakfast each day was exactly what we needed to get the day started. The rooms were quiet and clean. Literally everything was fantastic.

Location
Central, walkable location close to shops, restaurants, the waterfront, and Acadia; many guests park once and explore on foot. Not on the water, but several still found it quiet and convenient.

This was an absolutely wonderful experience. We would stay here anytime. Friendly staff, very clean hotel, large and very comfortable room in a fantastic location. A short walk to the waterfront, surrounded by restaurants, shopping and activities. Very close to several Acadia entrances. Coffee 24/7 and an outstanding included breakfast. We were able to utilize laundry facilities half way through our 2.5 week travels while staying here. We really cannot say enough!

Dining
Breakfast draws strong praise for variety, quality, and attentive staff, with hot items and fresh fruit; 24/7 coffee/tea/hot chocolate are appreciated. Some note occasional limitations or crowding, such as fewer hot selections, thick oatmeal, plastic utensils, or a tight buffet area.

Breakfast was more than adequate and buffet was one of the more elegant breakfast buffets I’ve seen. The hot entree selections were a little more limited than I expected (no breakfast potatoes? Also can’t remember if there was ever pancakes, French toast or waffles in 3 days I was there. And oatmeal most days was too thick and hard to spoon into bowl.) in spite of these minor nitpicks, I actually loved hotel and would definitely return.

This hotel is conveniently located on the main street of Bar Harbor. Breakfast was good with hot entrees, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee cakes, hot and cold cereals, juices, coffee and teas. Our king bed was comfortable, but the side chair was uncomfortable. Each day we received chocolates. Please note that many businesses, museums and locations in town and Acadia didn't open until 5/15 or later. There was free parking in town until that date.

I have never slept so well on the first night in a hotel and their version of a "Continental Breakfast" was better than most hot breakfasts at other hotels.

Liked its close proximity to Bar Harbour stores, restaurants and the obvious Acadia National Park! No in room microwave. The buffet area was a bit small. We were all basically shoulder to shoulder which made breakfast not very enjoyable… Create to areas or expand to have more space to enjoy breakfast..These are minor issues that can be adjusted.. 4.34 our of 5 ..

This hotel was a great surprise! We stayed at several hotels/inns on our trip down the Maine Coast, and this was by far the best one. Great location so we could walk to everything in Bar Harbor. The room was spacious and felt updated. The beds were very comfortable, and it was really quiet, even with the hotel being fully booked. Never heard our neighbors. My husband also appreciated the ceiling fan in the room. We used the laundry room once during our stay. It’s $4.00 per load (washer + dryer), and the front desk can exchange cash for quarters. Just plan on doing small loads because we did a larger load and the clothes were not dry after one dryer cycle. We only ate the free breakfast once, and it was just ok. Nice that it’s offered at all, so I’m not complaining. Would absolutely recommend this hotel!

Fantastic hotel - within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants. Staff were superb- very helpful. Organised our pass to Arcadia National park. Free parking, laundry facilities and a great breakfast including lots of gluten free choices ( also a seperate toaster for GF items showing they understand the health issues coeliacs face if food is cross contaminated- the only hotel I’ve seen this level of care on our travels !) The room was spotless and spacious with a very comfortable bed. We loved Bar Harbor - lots of great restaurants-especially Geddys and Gaylins - definitely not Blaze !!! The only thing I didn’t like was the plastic cups plates and cutlery for breakfast - I understand this was needed post Covid but it feels like it’s not very eco friendly and the knives tended to snap as we were using them to butter toast etc ! Overall we loved this hotel and Bar Harbor and will definitely return- highly recommended.

The hotel is very clean and the breakfast was good. The location is good in that it is right in the middle of the downtown area, which means you really don’t have to drive your car if you don’t want to. Parking is great. I wouldn’t call the hotel charming… it was completely fine. We wish we had paid a bit more attention and stayed where there was some view of the ocean. Our view was of the parking lot.

Breakfast had good variety with healthy options but included delicious coffee cake. We were thankful the walking sticks were available for hikes. Parking was a breeze. The location was convenient to restaurants and shopping. Never had time to try out the pool but it looked inviting. Only surprise was sunrise was at 4:50 am. Blackout curtains would be helpful but we managed. Would stay again!
