New England Resort Named A Best New 2023 Hotel
Fifty Grande released a list of the best new 2023 hotels that opened this season, and a New England resort was named among them.
The report points out how this time of year is quite nice for travel. The rates are in a down period, post-summer, and pre-holiday rush. “To inspire your exploration, some insanely cool new properties opened this summer across the country,” Fifty Grande states.
Though some of the hotels listed here are ideal for warmer climates, they offer plenty of entertaining options in all seasons. Or perhaps you are already exploring summer plans for 2024. Regardless, these best new hotels are scattered across the country, from the east coast of New England to the Pacific shores in San Diego. Their common theme is that each has a boutique charm to them. In addition, they are on the smaller side, and display a unique character. Furthermore, none of them is part of a large chain.
In New England, we will head north to Maine to a beachside resort.
The York Beach Surf Club
This hotel was named and themed after a surf club of the same name that started in 1964. In 2020, this property was purchased and completely renovated to open as this new surf-inspired destination.
“After a multi-million dollar restoration with the addition of the new pool, food & beverage program, and fully renovated buildings and bungalows, the property is ready for its next 50 years and generations of York visitors,” the York Beach Surf Club states. In fact, this new hotel vision was implemented by the son of a local surfing legend. Sonny Perkins and his son Taylor are the creators (and operators) behind this hotel. “The design is Scandinavian, with long lines and light woods dominating the common areas, rooms, and two-room bungalows,” Fifty Grande explains.
Of course, the beach options at this destination are the main attraction. However, there is also the Pineapple All Day Café and Daybreaker Coffee for you to enjoy. There is also a heated pool to go along with the ocean waters. The walls are decorated with unique artwork, and open-air yoga classes each morning.
Lastly, you can’t ignore that gnarly surf at your fingertips. The beach is known for having consistent surf breaks welcoming to all levels. Over the summer months, there are surf camp options here as well.
