Lark Hotels Expands Coastal New England Collection
By: BWW News Desk Jul. 08, 2015
Following the news of the grand openings of Lark Hotels' two new properties, Gilded in Newport, Rhode Island, and Whitehall in Camden, Maine, two MORE have just opened their doors: The Break, Narragansett, Rhode Island's first beach-chic boutique hotel, and The Hotel Portsmouth, which opened in 2014 in New Hampshire's popular coastal hamlet.
The Break, which opened June 19th, is situated in New England's long board surf capital and features 16 guest rooms and suites (many of which boast ocean views), each adorned with playful interiors that capture the essence of Narragansett's retro surfer vibe. Mid-century style with pops of blue/green reigns throughout the hotel lending a luxe, yet relaxing, SoCal vibe. As with every Lark Hotel, The Break provides guests with top-of-the-line amenities. Features at The Break include Apple TVs in every room, kimono robes, iPad and iPod docking stations, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Extra special amenities include a year-round heated outdoor pool, a spa treatment room, fireplaces, and heated bathroom floors to keep toes toasty in cooler months (The Break is open year-round). Culinary and mixology adventures can be found at The Break's Chair 5, an "upscale snack shack" bistro and bar where Chef Basil Yu's menu offers "a modern take on New England cuisine with just a touch of Asian flair." Guests can lounge on The Break's rooftop deck overlooking the ocean and the famed Point Judith Lighthouse in the distance. For outdoor activities, four of the area's top beaches are minutes from the hotel, including Rhode Island's long board surf break hotspot.For more, go to www.thebreakhotel.com,
Riding on the coastal coattails of The Break comes The Hotel Portsmouth (pictured, above), which joined the Lark Hotels collection July 1st. Hidden within the façade of this 135 year old historic mansion are 32 stylish, modern guest rooms and suites, each designed with light and airy tones, plush and ultra comfortable beds (a Lark signature), and relaxing treats (think generously sized claw foot tubs - bubbles anyone?). Common areas weave rich leather furnishings with nautical artwork and cheerful, chirpy (literally!) wallpaper patterns accented by aqua colors. The hotel also houses an outdoor patio and garden, as well as a handful of secluded event spaces, ideal for meetings, incentive retreats, and special events. Arriving soon at The Hotel Portsmouth will be a guest bar with fine wine and craft beers. Guests are within a few minutes walk of Market Square and prime shopping, dining, and historic sights. The hotel is not only ideal for couples, but also for families owing to generously sized suites. And canine pals are welcome in one guest suite, too!For more information, visit www.thehotelportsmouth.com.
