THE ATLANTIC INN

What THE ATLANTIC INN does

The Atlantic Inn is a privately held historic boutique hotel occupying a six-acre property at the highest point of Old Harbor on Block Island in New Shoreham, Rhode Island. The property offers 23 newly remodeled guest rooms and suites, The Manor Residence (a private 4-bedroom, 8-bed, 4.5-bath luxury estate rental), The Atlantic Restaurant (a fine-dining venue under Executive Chef Francis Cavanagh with a Wine Spectator-recognized wine list and daily dinner plus weekend lunch service), and the Atlantic Sandwich Shop (takeout Wednesday through Sunday, weekend dine-in). Revenue is generated across nightly room rentals, restaurant and sandwich shop sales, gift cards sold via the Gift Up platform, and full-service wedding, corporate, and private event hosting with full-property buyout capability. Distribution is direct-to-consumer: room bookings run through a Cloudbeds-powered website and phone reservations, restaurant bookings through OpenTable, and sandwich orders through ToastTab, with no third-party OTA involvement.

The operating model targets three primary customer segments: leisure travelers (couples and individuals seeking a coastal New England retreat), wedding parties (destination weddings with exclusive property use and award-winning catering), and corporate/group events (meetings, conferences, retreats, and family reunions using the dedicated meeting room, veranda, and The Manor). Pricing is seasonal, undisclosed publicly, with a two-night minimum during peak periods, and check-in/check-out at 4 PM and 11 AM. Marketing relies on Instagram (@theatlanticbi), Facebook, an email newsletter, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor (Certificate of Excellence), supported by editorial coverage in Bon Appétit, Travel and Leisure, Gourmet, Yankee, Rhode Island Magazine, and The Providence Journal. The property is undergoing a multi-year "New Atlantic" capital renovation beginning in 2025, adding air conditioning throughout, a redesigned lobby, restaurant/bar refresh, expanded outdoor dining, and upgraded WiFi while preserving Victorian character.

The business is founder/independently owned with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional investors; a sister property, Rose Farm Inn, operates nearby on Block Island with at least one shared service referral (Beach Rose Bicycles). Headcount is approximately 6 employees, indicating significant outsourcing of F&B service, housekeeping, and event operations. The Atlantic Inn holds WCAG 2.1 (AA) and ADA compliance certifications, and the Atlantic Inn mark is registered as a trademark.
