This past July the Martignetti Hospitality Group (MHG), the Massachusetts-based company behind Sogno restaurant and Sogno at Sea yacht charters, opened The Inn at Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester. Following a comprehensive transformation led by MHG, The Inn at Good Harbor Beach blends historic seaside character with contemporary luxury. Guest rooms and suites feature a selection of king, queen, double queen, and suite formats, with many offering private balconies, furnished decks, courtyard access, entertainment spaces, beach cabanas, and panoramic views of Good Harbor Beach, Salt Island, Bass Rocks, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Now the MHG has expanded to The Inn Collection, a portfolio of three beachfront properties celebrating the beauty, character, and coastal traditions of Cape Ann. In addition to the The Inn at Good Harbor Beach they acquired the Captain’s Bounty on the Beach in Rockport and rebranded it to The Inn at Front Beach, and recently acquired the Cape Ann Motor Inn in Gloucester and rebranded it to the The Inn at Long Beach. While The Inn at Good Harbor Beach and The Inn at Long Beach will operate year-round, The Inn at Front Beach will be open seasonally from April 1 through October 31.
The Captain’s Bounty on the Beach was a beloved oceanfront destination overlooking Sandy Bay, just steps from Rockport’s Bearskin Neck and its charming village, shops, and galleries. The Cape Ann Motor Inn was a cherished seaside getaway offering a relaxed, classic New England beach experience with sweeping ocean views and direct access to beautiful Long Beach.
“The response to the Inn at Good Harbor Beach has been incredibly rewarding. We’re excited to bring that same vision and commitment to The Inn at Long Beach and The Inn at Front Beach as we continue building our presence on Cape Ann. Being able to invest in these properties and contribute to their future is incredibly meaningful to us. Our vision is to preserve what makes each location special while thoughtfully introducing improvements that will serve guests and the surrounding communities for years to come,” explains John Paul Martignetti, Co-Owner of MHG.
The Inn at Good Harbor Beach has a partnership with Cape Ann Coffees to serve breakfast pastries as part of their breakfast program, and plans to have a similar breakfast offering at the other two properties. “We would like to introduce local vendors for any and all parts of the hospitality experience. It makes for a better experience for our guests, and certainly any opportunity we can have to to partner with other businesses in the community. It’s always a win-win,” says Martignetti.
In the past The Inn at Long Beach had a food truck that offered food seasonally, both to guests of the inn as well as the greater public. Martignetti is planning on continuing that tradition and offering next year. Staff at each property is available to make dinner reservations for guests and plan outings.
“We are looking at furniture, decor, and the guest experience, whether it be you know taking a closer look at our breakfast program and some of the guest amenities that are offered at The Inn at Long Beach. At The Inn at Good Harbor Beach, we’ve taken the step of introducing beach furniture and cabanas, and we do intend to to offer similar experiences at The Inn at Long Beach”says Martignetti.
