10 Classic All-American Hotels Perfect for a Summer Vacation

"Located on Mount Desert Island, this historic hotel has offered a quiet coastal respite since 1884 and is reopening after extensive renovations on its six-acre waterfront property. I like that it will offer a range of high-end accommodations — including 12 cottages, four suites, and a secluded three-bedroom house ideal for family gatherings — and that nostalgic touches such as a restored croquet club, an old-school candy store, and the hotel's signature doughnuts are part of the experience." - Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova is a writer with over a decade of editorial experience in Europe and the U.S. She covers luxury travel, art, architecture, and design.
