   The Historic Wentworth By the Sea Will Reopen As a
Marriott Hotel, Conference Center and Spa
New Castle NH (November 6, 2002) � In Spring 2003, the Wentworth By the Sea  resort will reopen as a premier Marriott hotel, conference center and spa, restoring the historic hotel to the prominence it enjoyed for a century after opening in 1874.  A meticulous restoration project complimented by new construction is underway now to return the Wentworth to its former glory as one of the grand hotels of America.

,
Located in the scenic community of New Castle, New Hampshire and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Wentworth by the Sea Marriott Hotel & Spa incorporates 164 guestrooms and suites, most with ocean or harbor views. 

Twenty-first-century, state-of-the-art construction, design, and amenities are being incorporated to greet the most discerning leisure and business traveler. Some of the most sought-after rooms will undoubtedly be the tri-level suites in each of the hotel�s three Victorian turret towers. 

Eighteen of the rooms have gas-powered fireplaces and fifteen have balconies. An additional 17 bi-level suites designed for extended stay guests will be offered in the waterfront recreation of �The Ship� accommodations, popular with guests at the turn of the last century. All of the accommodations include such luxuries as heat-strips under the marble of the bathroom floors and telecommunications technology that includes high speed Internet access.

Meeting, conference and social function capabilities in the restored hotel cover more than 10,000 square feet of space and include the original Grand Ballroom and versatile conference space, all fronted by a heated glass verandah that stretches across the face of the hotel and overlooks the water. Group planners will also appreciate the two-to-one ratio of Queen double-doubles to Kings in the main hotel.

Guest amenities include a formal restaurant accented by a carefully restored, hand-painted  ceiling, an informal waterfront café, a full-service Spa including treatment rooms, saunas, and whirlpools, both indoor and outdoor pools, and exclusive guest golf access to the adjacent, independent Wentworth by the Sea Country Club. The grounds incorporate Historic Gardens and a privately-operated full-service marina.

At the Preview event in the Fall of 2002, Tom Varley, Vice President of Operations for owner and manager Ocean Properties said, �In twenty-two years opening hotels, I have never experienced such excitement and support from the local community, the city, the state, even nationally. Wherever I go, people ask me about the Wentworth, and often have a personal experience at the hotel to share. I tell them that we are performing a reconstruction rather than a renovation and that our goal is to provide visitors with a personally memorable experience by recreating the level of service for which such grand hotels of the 19th century as Wentworth By the Sea were known.�

Located in New Castle, NH, Wentworth By the Sea Marriott Hotel & Spa is a 168-room full service resort hotel managed by Ocean Properties, Ltd.
