"THE NORTHPORT HOTEL Opened in 2023, The Northport Hotel (225 Main St., 631-628-7000, thenorthporthotel.com) sits at the corner of Main Street across from the Engeman
Theater, anchoring the village’s shift from day-trip destination to weekend escape. Its 26 modern rooms, lively bar and polished restaurant make it easy to settle in and stay awhile, whether you’re in town for a show or simply looking to slow down by the water.
That convenience was intentional. Theater co-owner Kevin O’Neill said the idea for a hotel grew out of demand from visitors traveling in for perfor- mances. With audiences regularly coming from Westchester, New Jersey and Connecticut, “we heard it enough” that there was nowhere nearby to stay, he says, prompting the move to bring lodging to the heart of the village.
“We didn’t want to change the history that defines Northport,” O’Neill said. “The hotel was built to match the village’s character, with a modern twist.”
Inside, that balance is evident. Each room is thoughtfully designed with bright, coastal touches — soft blues, crisp whites and subtle nautical details that nod to the harbor just down the street.
Downstairs, the restaurant and bar draw both overnight guests and locals, adding to the steady rhythm of Main Street.
Rooms start at $429 per night in May and June, with rates varying by season."
