Camden Harbour Inn

Camden Harbour Inn sits on Bayview Street above Camden's harbor, on the rocky Maine coast. The property has 20 guest rooms and suites plus a three-bedroom villa, with most rooms and public spaces looking out over the water toward Penobscot Bay.

Dinner happens downstairs at Natalie's, the inn's own fine-dining restaurant, and the spa handles the slower half of a stay. The property carries a Michelin Key designation and a Wine Spectator award, and it belongs to Small Luxury Hotels of the World, a network of independently owned hotels rather than a chain.
