The Shoals Hotel Opens on Long Island’s North Fork - AFAR
"Arrive by car or by sea to this ‘‘boatel’’—it pairs 20 boat slips with 20 rooms and even offers a Chris‑Craft speedboat for charter. Opened in May 2022 and designed by architect Thomas Juul‑Hanson, the property favors a subtle nautical aesthetic (cedar‑shingle exterior, two stories sited for prime Peconic Bay and marina views) over kitschy ship motifs. Apartment‑style rooms have private outdoor spaces, stocked kitchenettes, open living areas with yacht‑inspired seating, built‑in beds and modular natural‑material furnishings. Outside there’s an expansive lawn with lounge chairs, fire pits and a food truck serving lobster rolls, chicken tenders, rosé and freshly shucked oysters, plus on‑site shucking classes and waterfront programming." - Devorah Lev-Tov
