Acadia National Park and the city of Bar Harbor located on Mt. Desert Island have a long and storied history as a vacation getaway. Located on the coast of Maine, Acadia encompasses 47,633 acres of granite-domed mountains, woodlands, lakes and ponds, and ocean shoreline. Such diverse types of habitat make Acadia a haven for wildlife and plants. Acadia National Park is a land of contrast and diversity. Comprised of a cluster of islands on the Maine coast, Acadia is positioned within the broad transition zone between eastern deciduous and northern coniferous forests, and hosts several species and plant communities at the edge of their geographic range. Steep slopes rise above the rocky shore, including Cadillac Mountain, which at 1,530 feet is the highest point on the U.S. Atlantic coast. While surrounded by the ocean, the entire fabric of Acadia is interwoven with a wide variety of freshwater, estuarine, forest, and intertidal resources, many of which contain plant and animal species of international, national and state significance.

Located on picturesque Frenchman's Bay, the Harborside Hotel & Marina is the newest luxury hotel in downtown Bar Harbor. Offering superb guest rooms, studios and deluxe penthouse suites to fit a variety of lifestyles and needs, Harborside offers a range of accommodations, each with spacious rooms, luxurious décor, and inspiring views. It is the perfect destination for family vacations and romantic getaways. The soft, comforting all non-smoking deluxe guest rooms and studio, one, two, and three-bedroom suites feature balconies - most with sweeping water views - marble bathrooms, refrigerators and two-line telephones with dataports.

The suites also include high-definition television and surround sound stereo. Luxurious penthouse suites offer full kitchens with dining rooms, Jacuzzis, and wood-burning fireplaces. ACTIVITIES AND AMENITIES ABOUND at Harborside. Take a relaxing swim or soak up some sun at the heated oceanside pool.
