Hotel Albatross

Located just one block from the beach in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, Hotel Albatross is a boutique hotel where historic character meets contemporary hospitality design. Originally built in 1881, the Victorian property has been thoughtfully restored and transformed into a distinctive destination that celebrates its heritage while embracing a fresh, modern aesthetic.

The result is a considered balance of old and new. Original architectural character provides the backdrop for moody interiors, contemporary finishes, custom mood lighting, and carefully selected furniture, creating spaces that feel both familiar and unexpected.

Furniture plays an important role throughout the scheme, contributing to the hotel's relaxed yet refined character. The Langley Side Chair, Allastir Small Table Base and Solid Wood Character Oak Top bring together natural materials, contemporary forms, and the durability needed for a busy hospitality environment.

The Langley Side Chair is a standout traditional piece, combining timeless elegance with practical durability. Its woven natural Vienna straw seat and back sit within a beautifully crafted bentwood frame, creating a warm and classic look that complements the hotel's blend of historic architecture and contemporary interiors.

The Allastir Small Table Base adds a clean, contemporary element to the scheme. Made from high-quality steel, it provides excellent stability and durability, while its simple design pairs naturally with the Solid Wood Character Oak Top. Together, the combination of steel and natural oak adds warmth and texture to the space, creating a cohesive guest experience.

Now recognised with a 2026 MICHELIN Key and voted the No. 1 Inn in the United States in Travel + Leisure's 2026 World's Best Awards, Hotel Albatross demonstrates how sensitive restoration, distinctive interior design and carefully considered furniture can transform a historic property into a contemporary hospitality destination.
