If you’re heading to Martha’s Vineyard. You’re gonna want to check out the the stunning Harbour View Hotel. This luxury hotel just underwent a massive renovation, bringing even more modern amenities while holding on to the coastal charm it’s known for.
Situated on the edge of Edgartown with perfect waterfront views and the Edgartown lighthouse. During this expansive renovation, the Harbor View Hotel expanded and upgraded their suites, redesigned their common areas, and did a complete overhaul of their two restaurants! Their massive wraparound deck with rocking chairs and comfy seating offers the perfect view for the sunrise coming up over the lighthouse, an iconic scene that Martha’s Vineyard is well known for.
When it comes to the rooms, they’re done in coastal neutrals complemented by New England blues, to make you feel at home. Besides rooms in the main hotel, the Harbor View Hotel also offers the captain’s cottages which provide a little more room for families.
While renovating the two restaurants on site, they also completely revamped the menu. And now with a new chef, Patrice Martineau, breathing life into the new creative culinary dishes with fresh seasonal items from local farms, fishing boats, and markets. Bettini’s is surrounded by windows so you can watch the sun go down while enjoying an incredible bottle of wine to compliment you meal. My top choice: was the grilled lobster with a tomato couscous, and it was absolutely amazing!! For something a little less formal head to Roxanna bar, which has a really fun vibe of an old English pub done in jewel tones complemented by warm cognac leather chairs and benches. Roxana might not be as fancy as Bettini’s but don’t let this fool you, because the food is outstanding. Their sushi is some of the best sushi I’ve had in New England!
If you’re arriving to the vineyard without a car The Harbor View hotel has a Mercedes program where they have a Mercedes SUV, and a Mercedes sedan, that they allow you to take if you want to explore other areas of the island. I highly recommend taking the scenic drive out to a Aquinnah Cliffs. For sunset. And also driving through all the little beach areas of Chilmark.
If you want to explore Edgartown. The hotel also offers adorable white bikes with baskets. Riding a bicycle is the best way to explore the town and see all the beautiful coastal cottages, shop the local shops, and dine on other local cuisine.
For lazy days at the Harbor View Hotel, there’s a large pool surrounded by chic cabanas and beautifully designed outdoor spaces. Although, I’d have to say, my favorite was reading a book in a rocking chair on the front porch and just enjoying the view with a nice ocean breeze.
The Harbor View Hotel is definitely the ultimate getaway, and one of New England’s best destinations.
