Ten Years by the Sea: Celebrating Beauport Hotel Gloucester

In 2026, Beauport Hotel Gloucester proudly celebrates 10 years by the sea, a decade shaped by coastal beauty, heartfelt hospitality, and the unforgettable moments shared at our harborfront home.

From the very beginning, Beauport was envisioned as more than a hotel. Set directly on Pavilion Beach, overlooking Gloucester Harbor, the goal was to create a refined yet welcoming retreat—one that honors the rich history of America’s oldest seaport while offering a modern escape on Cape Ann. Ten years later, that vision continues to guide everything we do.

Rooted in Gloucester’s Story

Gloucester’s maritime legacy runs deep, and our location is part of that story. Before Beauport Hotel stood here, this site was home to the historic Birdseye building, a name we proudly honor today through The Birdseye Rooftop Pool. Just as the original structure once played a role in Gloucester’s working waterfront, Beauport now offers a new vantage point, one that celebrates the past while embracing the present.

From the rooftop, guests take in endless views of the harbor, to the Atlantic beyond, and the rhythm of the city below. It’s a place for sunsets, summer afternoons, and moments that feel distinctly Cape Ann.

A Decade of Dining at 1606 Restaurant & Oyster Bar

Since opening, 1606 Restaurant & Oyster Bar has become a cornerstone of the Beauport experience and a destination in its own right on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Inspired by New England’s coastal flavors and Gloucester’s fishing heritage,1606 blends our raw bar, fresh seafood, seasonal ingredients, and thoughtful hospitality in a setting that feels both elevated and welcoming.

From oyster happy hours and handcrafted cocktails to celebratory dinners overlooking the water, 1606 has welcomed locals and travelers alike, serving as the backdrop for countless memories over the past ten years.

Where Memories Are Made

Over the last decade, Beauport Hotel has been honored to host life’s most meaningful moments. From harborfront weddings and milestone celebrations to holidays specials, weekend getaways, and quiet midweek escapes, our hotel has become a place guests return to, again and again.

We’ve welcomed couples beginning their next chapter, families creating traditions, and travelers seeking rest, inspiration, and a breath of sea air, along with countless corporate retreats that bring businesses together. Whether visiting for a special occasion or a well-deserved retreat, each stay becomes part of the story we’re proud to share.
