Coastal Comfort Meets Concert Convenience in Bar Harbor

Modern and welcoming, the Hampton Inn By Hilton Bar Harbor offers a relaxed stay just outside the heart of downtown.

Whether you're heading to a nearby music festival or a one-night-only show, getting there is easy—and coming back means a calm, comfortable space to recover. The free parking is a huge bonus for those driving in, and late-night returns are no problem thanks to the 24-hour front desk.
