PORTSMOUTH, N.H. and NEW CASTLE, N.H., Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The historic Wentworth by the Sea Hotel and Spa, formerly a Marriott, will join the award-winning Opal Collection on March 1, 2023. The landmark hotel will be the 6th hotel in the Northeast to become part of the Opal Collection, joining ranks with such iconic resorts as The Sagamore Resort in Lake George, New York and Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine.
It has been a decade since Opal Collection has grown its portfolio in the Northeast. And this latest addition of Wentworth by the Sea has an illustrious and storied past of welcoming presidents, dignitaries and being the signing place of the Treaty of Portsmouth, which ended the Russo-Japanese War. The Wentworth, originally built in 1874, was saved from the wrecking ball and reopened in 2003 after a comprehensive, multi-million-dollar restoration. In the 20 years since, there have been a number of updates to the historic property, including a recent renovation of all accommodations, giving it the contemporary feel it has today, while still allowing it to reclaim its place on the New Hampshire seacoast as a grand, modern destination that has never forgotten its roots.
This newly designated Opal Collection property will feature a completely upgraded Opal Spa experience where wellness is the focus. The therapeutic benefits of salt therapy will be available in the spa’s new Salt & Sound Lounge where guests will be lulled into a meditative state of relaxation. A new treatment menu featuring Kerstin Florian products will debut with the wildly popular hydrafacials, a variety of European therapies, and holistic upgrades all performed on all new, state of the art treatment tables that include sound, vibration, and color therapies. Guests will also see a completely new retail experience with not only customized wellness and beauty products to maintain your wellness at home, but new lines of athleisure wear as well.
Other Opal Collection additions will include signature Opal NEST amenities such as shampoo, conditioner and body lotion in all guest accommodations and the Opal Paws program that welcomes dogs to the property in style.
The grand hotel will continue to hold guest favorite events and annual community traditions including the Illumination, holiday brunches, the Winter Wine Festival and many more.
