The Employee Experience
Our team is passionate about sharing their adventures with guests, exchanging ideas for hikes, biking trails, and our favorite restaurants in town. We get excited planning the perfect day trip for our guests, choosing the perfect restaurant for a special occasion, or sharing our favorite spot for pictures in Acadia.
You know you're living in an incredible place when the hardest decision you will make this week is planning the adventures for your time off. Choosing the next mountain climb, deciding to wake up early (or stay up late!) for sunrise, paddle boarding or kayaking, hiking or biking. Life Decisions.
We believe details are important, and attention paid to small things has big rewards. We obsess over the little stuff every day – our mission is bringing joy to our guests, continuously improving our team and the property in an endless pursuit of the perfect visitor experience.
Hampton Bar Harbor is a visa sponsor for J-1 Work & Travel and J-1 Hospitality Internship programs.
