“Comfortable stay”

Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

Despite the inclement weather, we enjoyed our stay at this fine hotel. The indoor pool and spa are exceptional. The stone massage at the spa took my husband's back pains away. We were treated as valued guests. Memorial Day weekend was very foggy and rainy but we were still able to visit many sites. The Looking Glass restaurant has wonderful... More

“The perfect spot in Bar Harbor, Maine”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

The Bluenose Inn has been a favorite for us for years. They are very accomodating. You have a casual feel in top notch and nicely decorated surroundings. The Piano Player is a nice touch for a relaxing evening by the fire. The view is outstanding. This is a must for any family combination: with kids; couples or even alone!!

Thank you for your excellent comments regarding your recent visit to the Bluenose and your continued support over the many years. We appreciate it! Casual elegance is our theme with a high tech/high touch core value. Regarding the pianist, Bill Trowell; he has been here for 17 years and continues to be as passionate in his work as ever. He...

Modern and spacious rooms--and if you're in the main building--expansive views of the harbor and bay (if you can afford the main building you should do it). About a mile or so out of downtown, I'd imagine this property would be a good break from the crush of high season. The lobby is comfortable for reading, sitting and looking out... More

Thank you for your excellent comments regarding your recent visit to the Bluenose Inn. As you pointed out, we are only a few minutes from downtown but out of the heavy congestion and noise. Our private balconies as you depicted are a very positive feature for our guests. Should your travel bring you back to Bar Harbor, we hope you... More

I'll start by saying that if you are a bus tour don't come here... It's not bus friendly. If you are lucky enough to have a room in the main building, you may have a great view but if you are stuck in the back building ask for a room furthest from the main building for the view. If you... More

This was a preseason family trip to Acadia National Park. We had two rooms facing the harbor with a nice view. One of the reasons we booked the Bluenose Inn is that it was one of a very few hotels with an indoor pool. We had three grandchildren that we wanted to keep entertained. Our experience was great!

This place is wonderfully quaint. They know the meaning of service with a smile. I arrived pre-season so the place was blissfully quiet. I had a 3rd floor room with a view to die for-- so when booking make sure you pick the higher floors. Whenever I needed something or had questions where to eat or how to get there... More
