Wentworth by the Sea
A photogenic grand hotel, Wentworth by the Sea was built on New Castle Island in 1874 and was the location of the international conference that ended the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. As befits a grand old hotel that’s seen its ups and downs, rooms vary in size and condition, but most are spacious, with good views of ocean or harbor. Some rooms have gas-powered fireplaces or private balconies, while all have luxury bath amenities, new bathroom fixtures, and lovely detailing and furnishings.
The suites in the three turrets have some of the more interesting views. Luxury water-side suites have modern kitchens and marble bathrooms with Jacuzzis—plus access to a private dockside pool.
A full-service spa offers a range of treatments, and there’s a handsome lounge area as well as a dining room in the main building; in summer a seasonal deck grill opens adjacent to the Marina Suites. (Families might appreciate that many contain two queen-size beds.) A full-service spa offers a range of treatments and body wraps.
You can golf at the 18-hole Wentworth golf course (a 5-min. walk down the road).
From downtown, take Route 1A (Miller Ave.) to Route 1B and continue 1.5 miles to the hotel.
