Top George B. Dorr Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

The Pathmaker Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was more than enough! It was so cozy and peaceful in the restaurant, we could wake up slow and prepare for our daily adventures. Parking is underneath the hotel which made it super easy to get rolling at 6am after a snowstorm. Also the elevator for parking headed right up to our floor, avoiding a transfer thru another area. Fantastic hotel, and great mid winter stay!"

Hotels near other George B. Dorr Museum of Natural History attractions

The Criterion in downtown Bar Harbor, Maine, does not look very much from the exterior, but it is a glorious, well-preserved Art Deco style theatre. Opening in 1932, it has served the town of Bar Harbor as a movie palace ever since, accomodating such prominent families as the Rockefellers on their vacations to nearby Mount Desert Island.

Kept in fantastic condition over the years, the theatre still has most of its original interior: seats, curtains, and even the original lighting board for stage performances. The Criterion Theatre also contains a floating balcony, which is rare for most movie palaces. Click on the following link to see a photo of the interior:
