The Willows - Historic Hotel Accommodations in Bar Harbor

The Willows in Bar Harbor, Maine was built in 1913 for Miss Charlotte Baker, a patron of the arts who was closely associated with the Spence School for girls in New York City. The entire project was completed for $50,000. Local newspaper accounts of the time clearly thought this to be quite an extravagant sum to spend on a summer home in Bar Harbor. The name Willows was chosen because of the stately willow trees that lined the curving entry drive. Miss Baker enjoyed her home in Maine for a number of years and was active in the arts in the summer Bar Harbor community. The great room with magnificent views of the bay was her conservatory and she frequently hosted concerts, poetry readings, piano recitals and other affairs connected with the Bar Harbor summer art scene. When not otherwise in use, the conservatory served as Miss Baker's art studio, where she liked to paint scenes of Frenchman Bay as viewed from her picture window.

Completed in 2008, The Willows building was completely restored to its original splendor. It is now considered the crown jewel of the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel. The Willows now offers thirteen luxurious guest rooms with period furnishings and modern hotel amenities.
