Places to stay in Bath, Maine

Nestled along the sparkling Kennebec River, our small jewel of a city is an old seafaring town, and recently deemed one of the best small cities in America! Our recorded maritime history began only 12 miles down the Kennebec when 400 years ago the first ship built by settlers in the New World was launched. Shipyards once lined the river's edge and Bath-built vessels sailed the seas of the world. Local restaurants include Mae’s Cafe & Bakery, Orential Restaurant, Burger King, and Yum Mee Restaurant.

If you are travelling in the area, Bath is located close to Dike School, Merritt Island, Swan Island Point, Jackson Cemetery and Hen Island.

Bath has sailed into the present bringing a taste of her history with her and is now home of the world-class shipbuilder Bath Iron Works. At the south end of the city the nationally acclaimed Maine Maritime Museum is often visited by Tall Ships. Downtown Bath has a unique mix of shops, restaurants and services. The 19th century brick buildings and narrow streets have the charm of childhood revisited - a slower pace and a friendly pedestrian atmosphere. The City's tree-lined avenues are graced by humble and grand examples of classic American architecture.

The center of Bath ( which is at is longitude -69°49'9.48 and latitude 43°54'38.52 ) is located 5 miles away from Arrowsic, 7 miles away from Phippsburg, 7 miles away from Topsham and 8 miles away from East Boothbay.
