Maine Hotel Announces Grand Opening Special
By: Tyler Peterson Apr. 21, 2015
As if a getaway to mid-coast Maine's most picturesque harbor town wasn't tempting enough, Lark Hotels is giving travelers another reason to venture to Camden this spring. Guests who stay two or more nights during Whitehall's first two opening weeks (May 15 - June 11) will receive 10% off a sail on the Schooner Surprise, a $20 credit at their onsite restaurant, Pig + Poet, and 30% off the room rate. Rates for the10/20/30 special are from $129 per night.
The iconic hotel, which originally opened its doors in 1901, has undergone a complete renovation while still maintaining the grandeur of the original structure. Rachel Reider, the interior designer behind Whitehall and many of Lark Hotels' style-savvy properties, has incorporated Camden's "mountains meets the sea" aesthetic into the 36 rooms, suites, and common spaces. Guests will find themselves immersed in an artisan Maine atmosphere with the mischievous touches and modern amenities one has come to expect from Lark Hotels. When guests are not challenging each other on the property's shuffleboard court or sipping a fresh cocktail on the hotel's oversized porches, they can enjoy a delicious bite at Whitehall's signature restaurant, Pig + Poet, helmed by acclaimed NYC Chef Sam Talbot. The venue will focus on Maine's farmland and fisheries, featuring a raw bar and dishes such as Sam's Porchetta with Eggs and Poet Hot Sauce, Grilled Clams with Nori Butter, Shiso, and Chinese Mustard; and his take on a GrilledCowboy Steak complimented by Japanese eggplant, Peekytoe Crab Croutons, Smoked Garlic Greens, and Toast.
The "poet" in the restaurant's name is a nod to the chef's poetic role in the creative process, as well as a subtle wink to Edna St. Vincent Millay, the Pulitzer-prize winning poet who was discovered at Whitehall in 1912.
