At land's end it rests like a princess from another age, commanding your attention and getting it. Meanwhile, the windows command incredible views of Edgartown Lighthouse, Edgartown Harbor, and Chappaquiddick Island beyond. Dating to 1891 as two separate buildings, today the Harbor View Hotel is one large gem of a grand hotel, accented by a magnificent 300-foot veranda. A multimillion dollar renovation a few years ago restored all her 124 rooms and suites to their former Victorian splendor. Guests are pampered by the accommodating staff.
Comfort is the rule.
Concierge, room service, and the daily newspaper are just some of the extras that set this hotel apart. Seven townhouses on-site feature cathedral ceilings, kitchens, and outside decks. Guests have privileges at Farm Neck Golf Course. Starbuck's restaurant and Breezes lounge are on-site. It was formerly a tavern where whalers and sea captains raised their pints, and today all of the inn's 59 rooms maintain the Colonial charm that guests a century ago would have enjoyed.
