The Claremont Hotel 22 Claremont Road Southwest Harbor Maine theclaremont.com I can say without reservation that the Cla- remont Hotel sets standards of gentle hospitality and enchanting environment that should be emulated by every one of the thousands of hostelries catering to the mil- lions of vacationers and visitors who trav- el our breathtaking shores each summer wrote the late great John N. Cole in Port- land Magazine almost 30 years ago. Coles real agenda That lovely nine-wicket jew- el high on a hillsidethe hotels croquet lawn. A tradition at the hotel since Victo- rian times the popular Claremont Croquet Classic has been held in August since 1977. The hotel was built in 1884 by Capt. Jes- se Pease who found the view of Somes Sound and Acadia National Park beyond to be the most beautiful hed ever seen. Its hard to argue. Best-selling novelist and Southwest Harbor resident Christina Bak- er Kline declares her favorite summer treat to be blueberry martinis at the Boathouse Bar at the Claremont. Past guests at the hotel include Robert Kennedy and writer Calvin Trillin. More recently President Obama and the first family came for lunch in 2011 during their whirlwind tour of Acadia.
