Maine Shop

The Claremont in Southwest Harbor, Maine, has provided classic refuge for visitors to Mount Desert Island (MDI) each summer since 1884. Situated at the mouth of Somes Sound, the east coast's only fjord, our six-acre shorefront resort includes the historic hotel with 24 guest rooms, the Phillips House with 6 private inn-style rooms, and 14 housekeeping cottages. On-site facilities include restaurant and bar, dock, moorings, boat house restaurant, rowboats, bicycles, clay tennis court and two tournament-class croquet courts. There are 14 housekeeping cottages, some with ocean views, all with fireplaces, decks and kitchenettes, and all ideal for family vacations, or romantic weekend getaways. Xanthus, our acclaimed dining room, offers gourmet cuisine to hotel and outside guests, and water views from every table. Bed and breakfast meal plans are available to hotel guests.
