The team behind Maine’s luxury waterfront hotel The Viewpoint have opened a second property called The Nevada.
Husband-and-wife team Joe Lipton and Michelle Friar have opened the 21-bedroom hotel, which features suites offering large private terraces and 180 degree views of the ocean.
The property is also home to new surf school and the Lulu’s Tiki & Tacos restaurant. The 75-seat, indoor-outdoor restaurant includes two tier decks for outdoor seating.
The restaurant also features an 11-seat indoor-outdoor bar with forest green tile, velvet bar stools and tropical wallpaper.
Additional amenities at The Nevada include beach chair and umbrella rentals, van service to The Viewpoint’s nearby seasonal al-fresco restaurant A Little Auk, as well as their fitness, pool and new spa amenities and Stones Throw, their nearby hotel and restaurant.
The Nevada is located in the picturesque town of York, located on the southernmost tip of Maine, just over an hour outside of Boston.
The hotel is in a prime location right on Long Sands Beach, a surfing and swimming destination with more than a mile of white sand beach.
The building was formerly one of the first motels in the state and was a mainstay in the community for over 70 years, but had fallen into disrepair in recent times.
The Nevada’s restored design has maintained the property’s distinctive U-shape, originally built by a World War II veteran to resemble The USS Nevada battleship, as well as its 1950s art deco aesthetic, while adding modern detailing.
It acts as a sister property to The Viewpoint, which boasts 10 boutique suites and eight brand new shoreside rooms, which debuted this year.
