The Asticou Inn is an inn in Northeast Harbor, Maine. It was built in 1883. In 1899, it was destroyed by fire and rebuilt over the course of two years.

The rear of the building overlooks the Northeast Harbor inlet, which opens out to the Atlantic Ocean.

The inn has been owned by the Asti-Kim Corporation since 1965 and, between 2015 and 2019, was managed by the Acadia Corporation.[1] Tim Harrington's Kennebunkport Resort Collection, which also owns the Claremont Hotel in Southwest Harbor, became the current managers of the inn in 2023.[2] The inn began a major $10 million renovation in early 2024, involving the removal of the rear and front porches. It will be closed for the remainder of 2024.[3]

There are 50 guest rooms:[3] 33 in the main inn, plus 17 in six adjacent buildings: Cranberry Lodge, Blue Spruce, Bird Bank, and three "Topsiders".

The inn closes for the seven months between Columbus Day (late October) and Memorial Day (late May).
