Sylvia Beach Hotel in Newport, Oregon
Ocean Front Hotel with Incredible Views Caters to Book Lovers
Jun 8, 2009
Perched on a bluff overlooking a long sandy beach and the massive rollers of the Pacific Ocean, the Sylvia Beach Hotel in the historic Nye Beach area of Newport, Oregon is a wonderful step back in time.
Sylvia Beach Hotel has Rooms Priced at Three Levels depending on Ocean View
As soon as guests walk into the slightly funky, but completely charming Victoria era Sylvia Beach Hotel they know they are in for a unique experience. To begin with, the room rates are divided into three categories:
Classics—rooms with an ocean view, decks, and fireplaces
Best Sellers—rooms with a sideways view of the ocean
Novels—rooms without an ocean view
But this book related-theme is only the beginning.
Sylvia Beach Hotel is Decorated in Themes Related to Authors
Guest rooms are named for authors and decorated with antiques, art, and collectibles that reflect the author and his or her works. From the sedate Emily Dickinson room with its writing desk, lacy curtains and soft colors to the heavily draped and slightly unsettling Edgar Allen Poe chamber, each room is unique and intriguing.
Great Ocean View from the Hotel Library and Sitting Room
Most guests spend the majority of their time at the Sylvia Beach Hotel on the third floor in the libarry-sitting room. This room has the best ocean views in the hotel, and is furnished with a collection of overstuffed chairs, footstools, well-placed reading lamps, and shelves crammed full of books. At any time of the day or night, guests can be found quietly sitting and staring out to sea, or blissfully reading their way through a stack of novels.
Gourmet Dining Experience in the Ocean Front Dining Room
The Sylvia Beach Hotel has an ocean front dining room where a family-style dinner is served every evening. Guests gather around the table for a gourmet meal and to engage in the fine, and nearly lost, art of conversation. To keep the conversation rolling guests often play the game Two Truths and a Lie.
Games, Puzzles, Coffee, Tea and Mulled Wine Shared by Guests in Common Rooms
In a small galley off the sitting room, guests can help themselves to coffee or tea at any time. In the evening after dinner, mulled wine is also available. The galley has a table where guest can gather to work on jigsaw puzzles, play cards or board games, and continue dinner time conversations.
Unplug and Slow Down at the Beach
The slow pace of the Sylvia Beach Hotel is a refuge from modern life. The hotel has no phones, no TVs, no WiFi and no radios to intrude on the peace and quiet. The hotel isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but for anyone who has ever wished they could check out of the frantic pace of today’s world, and walk into a scene from a Merchant-Ivory movie, the Sylvia Beach Hotel is the place to go.
The hotel is located at 67 N.W. Cliff, Newport, Oregon. For reservations and more information, call toll free 888-795-8422.
