Harbor View Hotel
The Vibe: Martha's Vineyard's waterfront anchor
The Location: Edgartown, MA
Instaworthy Accommodations:
Harbor View Hotel has been perched above Edgartown Harbor since 1891, when Martha's Vineyard was just beginning its transformation from a whaling port into New England's summer obsession. The 117-room property spans four distinct accommodations, from the Historic Building's lighthouse-view rooms with walk-in showers and mahogany furnishings to The Roxana, where sliding glass doors open onto private balconies with views of the gardens and pool. Bettini Restaurant brings island-to-table cuisine in a setting that feels like the island at its best, while Roxy Pool Bar is where lobster rolls and fire pits tend to make evenings go long.
