NARRAGANSETT, RI—Lark Hotels, a collection of designer boutique properties located in New England, will grand open The Break here on June 19, with a soft opening anticipated in May. The property, a new-build, will feature a retro chic surf vibe and will be the first hotel of its kind in this historic seaside town.
Situated just one block from the ocean and a short walk to the beach, The Break will offer 16 guestrooms and suites, each featuring king beds, fireplaces, rainfall shower heads, Apple TV, iPads and iPod docking stations. Most accommodations feature private balconies with ocean or sunset views.
Guest amenities at The Break will include the Chair 5 restaurant, a rooftop lounge with panoramic views, a heated outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and sun deck, a fitness center and a small spa and salon.
The decor, by Rhode Island designer Jocelyn Chiappone, will tap into the vintage surfer nostalgia of the late 1960s when local surfing legend, Peter Pan, burst onto the scene and put Narragansett on the map, according to the company. Modern textiles pop with color palettes of bright orange and yellow, earth tones, white and shades of green and blue. Furnishings combine dark woods with modern whicker chairs and chandeliers, midcentury modern inspired armchairs and sofas, fabric headboards and ceramic tables.
Developed and owned by locals Jim and Becky Durkin, The Break will offer personalized concierge services including arranging surfing and stand-up paddle-boarding lessons, board and kayak rentals, beach picnics and fishing excursions.
