Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Hotel - A hilltop property with panoramic bay views, heated pools, and nightly piano entertainment
Perched on a granite terraced hillside, this 4-star Bar Harbor hotel features 53 rooms in the Mizzentop Building and 21 king bedroom apartments in the Eden Building. Most accommodations include private balconies and fireplaces overlooking Frenchman Bay. The Looking Glass Restaurant serves breakfast, while the Great Room Piano Lounge hosts live piano performances Monday through Saturday from 7 PM to 10 PM. Bluenose Inn maintains two heated pools, a fitness center with exercise machines, and a steam room open from 7 AM to 10 PM. The property includes 14 acres of manicured grounds with volleyball courts and horseshoe pits. Pet-friendly rooms are available across all buildings for $25 per night per pet. Located 10 minutes from Acadia National Park, the hotel sits 12.5 miles from Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport.
Pros

Each Eden Building apartment features a full kitchen and massage chair
Landscaped grounds include volleyball courts and horseshoe pits
The property allows pets to dine on the restaurant deck
Cons
Some rooms in Livingston House lack water views
Limited food service hours with breakfast only
“What stands out is the spaciousness of the rooms and the hotel's proximity to both downtown and Acadia National Park. Live piano music in the Great Room adds a touch of elegance, while the pet-friendly policy is a definite plus for those traveling with animals. In my opinion, this Bar Harbor landmark elegantly balances history with modern comforts.”
