The Claremont Hotel
Maine

The Claremont Hotel overlooks Somes Sound in Southwest Harbor on Maine's Mount Desert Island. Accommodation extends from rooms in the historic main hotel to cottages, cabins and larger houses, allowing guests to choose between the original building and more independent spaces. A heated pool faces the water, and the grounds include croquet facilities, bicycles and morning yoga. Botanica spa adds treatments to the outdoor leisure offer. Little Fern, Harry's and Fish Camp provide several dining and drinking settings, with the restaurant drawing on farms and suppliers across New England. The waterfront position also places the hotel near Acadia National Park.
