The Claremont Hotel

First, they are trying. If you don't mind spending five star prices and receiving staff in training experience you will not be disappointed. There is no attention to details and the property feels crowded. They keep music playing on the porch so there is never a silent moment unless you lock yourself in your room. We loved the food in The Little Fern which made our stay bearable. We left early and are not going back. Definitely a one and done experience.

What an incredible experience! Enjoyable amenities, picturesque views, friendly and accommodating staff, and quaint atmosphere all contributed to my memorable stay. In addition, the creative cocktails at Harry's and the upscale dining experience at Little Fern really round out what the Claremont Hotel has to offer. I highly recommend staying here if visiting Acadia National Park/Mount Desert Island.

Where do I even begin. (warning: lengthy review) I stumbled upon the Claremont Hotel while I was google searching for a “fine dining experience” in Bar Harbor to host our rehearsal dinner for our intimate micro-wedding with our family. What I discovered was so much more than that. When I saw pictures of the newly revamped chic hotel, I immediately told my fiancé this is where we will be staying, it was everything I had been envisioning! From the moment we arrived on the property I knew we made the right decision. We had such a warm welcome and were greeted by Michelle and Brett. Our dinner at Little Fern restaurant was delicious, and our family could not stop raving about their experience. Special thank you to Shane (operations manager) and Chris (food and beverage manager) for constantly checking-in with us. Justin at Harry’s Bar makes the most phenomenal smooth cocktails, I also highly recommend the poolside service painkiller from Batson Fish Camp. The housekeeping staff was so friendly, personable, and accommodating! We truly felt pampered and were treated like royalty. If you think it can’t get any better, it does. My lovely husband forgot our wedding bands (even though I reminded him 3 times) at the hotel and realized it when he arrived at Acadia National Park for our ceremony. Without hesitation he called the Claremont and spoke with Alex in reservations who convinced her husband Chris (who also works at the hotel) to drive the rings and meet my family member halfway. We are just blown away by the incredible hospitality and service we received by each staff member throughout our stay. Not to mention the hotel is picturesque, the beds are so comfortable, and the views unmatched. It has been the best and most memorable hotel stay we’ve ever experienced. Thank you for making our wedding weekend unforgettable! We can’t wait to come back for our anniversary next year. Wishing you a wonderful season. We love the Claremont, exceptional, FIVE STARS!
