Favorite Camden, Maine, Hotels & Inns Courtesy of Camden Harbour Inn Camden, Maine | Hotels & Inns Guide [THE NORUMBEGA INN]( Eleven luxurious rooms and suites await guests at this high-end B&B, which is located in a stone castle built in 1886 by the inventor of the duplex telegraph. The property was added to the National Historic Registry in the early 1970s and converted to a B&B in 1984. Gas fireplaces and sweeping views of Penobscot Bay adorn most of the rooms. Named a [2014 Yankee Editors’ Pick]( for “Best Castle by the Sea.” Whitehall | Favorite Camden, Maine, Hotels & Inns Courtesy of Lark Hotels [WHITEHALL]( Though the core of Whitehall may be an 1834 sea captain’s home, the building has progressively accreted rooms since becoming an inn in 1901. Reimagined in 2015 as a chic coastal getaway, the 36-room hotel and its rambling porches sprawl across green lawns between the rounded peak of Mount Battie and the lapping blue waters of Penobscot Bay. Touches like aged barn board and grass-cloth wall coverings produce a breezy contemporary decor that still echoes the leisurely rusticators of a century past.
