16 Bay View
Tucked in among the shops on Bay View Street, just off Main Street, this boutique hotel is an ideal pied-à-terre for accessing all the pleasures of in-town Camden without needing a car. The Vintage Room, an intimate cocktail lounge, is open to the public, as is a rooftop terrace bar; both serve small plates (some of them vegan and gluten-free). Called The View for good reason, the latter offers spectacular panoramas of harbor and bay. On a fine summer evening, it's the best spot in town.
