Guests can explore town between events, gather at the hotel's Bistro Bar, and stay where much of the celebration is happening. The hotel has 18 Victorian period guest rooms.

Beach Wedding, Historic Hotel Reception

Couples don't necessarily have to choose between the beach and Berlin. The hotel specifically works with couples holding ceremonies near Ocean City or Assateague and hosting their reception back at the property. If weather changes the beach ceremony plans, the Atlantic Ballroom can also serve as an indoor ceremony backup when the reception is being held at the hotel.
