Top George B. Dorr Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

The Inn on Mount Desert

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about The Inn on Mount Desert. The staffers were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was made to order for us. We could walk to everything in town. We have already made reservations for another visit in a few months. This will be our go-to destination in Bar Harbor from now on."

Queen Anne's Revenge

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay! Considering the price around thebarea, QAR seem like a steal! Situated at the far end of downtown but a 15-20 minute walk isn't so bad. Room is clean and have enough space (chair needs to be replaced though). Breakfast is decent thoigh would be nice to have hot meals in the future Parking. It's free and during peak season could be a challenge but not impossible to navigate to. It's not as small as other have reviewed. Probably avoid bringing a full-sized SUV or big truck. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. And we'd love to stay here again next time! TIP: it's near a bike rental shop to explore the carriage roads of Acadia NP"

Hotels near other George B. Dorr Museum of Natural History attractions

The Criterion in downtown Bar Harbor, Maine, does not look very much from the exterior, but it is a glorious, well-preserved Art Deco style theatre. Opening in 1932, it has served the town of Bar Harbor as a movie palace ever since, accomodating such prominent families as the Rockefellers on their vacations to nearby Mount Desert Island.

Kept in fantastic condition over the years, the theatre still has most of its original interior: seats, curtains, and even the original lighting board for stage performances. The Criterion Theatre also contains a floating balcony, which is rare for most movie palaces. Click on the following link to see a photo of the interior:
