A new chapter begins for The Asticou Hotel, originally opened in 1883, has officially reopened following a $28 million transformation led by Atlantic Hospitality. Located on 25 acres overlooking the turquoise waters of Northeast Harbor and backed by the natural splendour of Acadia National Park, the property now blends timeless New England charm with contemporary luxury and smart technology.
The renovation preserves the hotel’s historic architecture while introducing 82 thoughtfully designed accommodations, including 50 restored guest rooms and suites within the original inn, 15 harbourside cottages, and 17 spa suites with private terraces.
Guests can enjoy a heated pool with poolside grille, an expansive spa and fitness centre, curated dining experiences, and guided outdoor excursions that celebrate the island’s natural beauty1.
