Located in The heart of Nantucket, Massachusetts, The Beachside Hotel opened in the area in September 2024. The beachfront hotel reimagines what a Nantucket destination can be. Owner Blue Flag partnered with New York-based design firm Parts and Labor design (PLD) to create a stunning destination for families and design enthusiasts.

Built in 1960 on North Beach Street on Nantucket Island, the Beach Hotel celebrates an artistic era in Nantucket's history - the 1960s and 1970s, when artists and craftspeople saw it as a creative haven. Parts and Labor design aims to celebrate this artistic spirit while achieving the common goal of creating a family-friendly destination.

The firm has retained its facade, clad in the classic white cedar shingles that are typical of the island's architecture, completely retaining the original traces of the waterfront, including five buildings that surround an internal courtyard with swimming pools, lawns and various seating areas. The lobby is the focal point of the hotel. A perfect place for guests and visitors to socialize and interact.

Connecting the rustic ocean green tile bar outwards from the fireplace unifies the room and maintains an approachable residential feel. The design encourages guests to enjoy the space as a whole at their own pace. The Waterfront hotel's program setup includes something for everyone, whether it's yoga mornings, movie nights, or group dinners to optimize guests' stays and a greater sense of connection.

In the tiled bar, guests can relax on plush seersucker linen bar stools. Above, conical seaweed woven pendants hang from the oak-clad ceiling. The design team decorated the walls of the hall with works by Rhode Island artist Sean Spellman, paintings by Gayle Fitzpatrick, mosaics and watercolors. They created a living room with a residential feel, centred on a stunning tiled fireplace and warm-hued seating, complete with Schumacher pillows. One of the cantilevered woven chairs and a custom tile coffee table also set the scene.
