"Bed & bath: Varies by accommodation (1-4 bedrooms available)Top amenities: Heated pool, ocean views, sumptuous spa, fitness cottageBest for: Families and couples who don’t mind splurging for the best-of-the-best As one of the very few luxury hotels on Mount Desert Island, The Claremont has high expectations to meet. With its bright, beachy decor (featuring fabrics by William Morris and Pierre Frey), Matouk bath towels, and ultra-soft Cuddledown pillows, it more than lives up to them. Located in Southwest Harbor, the quieter side of the isle, the property features immaculately restored historic guest rooms, cozy woodland cottages, and idyllic oceanside bungalows for those truly seeking solitude." - Emily Pennington
