Since 1884, The Claremont Hotel, Southwest Harbor’s elegant grande dame resort with breathtaking views of Somes Sound, has drawn well-heeled Bostonians, New Yorkers, and travelers from afar.

Though Salt Cottages is the closest resort to Acadia National Park, it also stands out for its impeccable, nostalgic design. Enjoy a dip in this charming pool and read a book under the fabulous red-and-white striped umbrellas! Photo by Shawn O’Connor.
