About Us

Built in 1878 by a wealthy banker from Savannah, Georgia, the historic Primrose Inn is a classic coastal cottage in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor.  Guests delight in the comfort and elegance of our updated rooms, each with a private en-suite bath.  Recently updated and tastefully appointed with original artwork and thoughtful décor, Primrose retains the character of a gilded era Bed & Breakfast while also providing the comfort and service to be expected of a fine boutique hotel.  Many of our rooms feature a cozy gas fireplace, a relaxing spa tub, and a private porch or balcony.  Inside of our carefully preserved 19th century venue, guests can rely on enjoying modern amenities including luxurious linens, smart TVs, individual temperature controls, high-speed wireless internet, and a full breakfast served each morning.  After an exciting day in Acadia National Park—with its nearest entrance less than one mile from our front door—guests return to an assortment of complimentary refreshments prepared each day by our talented chefs.  Find your idyllic coastal Maine experience here at The Primrose, where, from the extraordinary stick-style architecture to our personalized customer service, you are sure to enjoy the best of Bar Harbor!
