The Grove Hotel

عن هذا المكان The Grove Hotel

The Grove Hotel is the only hotel in Cherry Grove — the accommodation option for visitors who are not renting or sharing a house — and its attachment to the Ice Palace makes it the most logistically convenient accommodation on Fire Island for visitors who want to be at the centre of the social action. The property is historic: the buildings that house the hotel have been part of Cherry Grove's social life since the mid-twentieth century, and staying here connects the visitor to the community's long history of summer hospitality. The accommodation is not luxurious by mainland standards — Fire Island imposes physical constraints on all its buildings that prevent the kind of construction that produces resort hotel amenities — but the location, the history, and the social access provided by adjacency to the Ice Palace make the Grove Hotel the most distinctive accommodation experience on Fire Island. The boardwalk culture of Cherry Grove means that guests are embedded in the community rather than separated from it in the manner of a conventional hotel: the walk to the beach, the bar, and the social spaces of the Grove is measured in steps rather than kilometres.
