At the beginning of the 19th century, Long Island was an island of fishermen and whalers, and it was this part of the history that the owners of the hotel decided to emphasize in the design The menhaden. The idea was embodied in the name: Menhaden is a species of Atlantic herring, the population of which has been greatly declining in recent years. So the owners of the hotel decided to pay tribute to the fishing industry and draw attention to the problem. Despite the nautical theme, the design decided not to overdo it with blue, stripes and anchors, but completed common areas and 16 rooms in black and white colors with active use of wicker furniture and geometric prints. The walls of the lobby and bar are decorated with images of wildflowers and plants, and they are also located in vases. By the way, during the renovation of the hotel, ancient bricks, bottles, horseshoes and even the mast of a whaling ship were found – all these items found their place in the interior. Very interesting project!
