The rebuilt Groton Inn
A historic hotel in Groton, once the site of the oldest hotel in the United States, has been rebuilt seven years after the historic structure was destroyed by a fire.
The Groton Inn, a 55,000-square-foot, 60-room hotel opens Thursday on Groton’s Main Street.
The original structure, parts of which were built in the 1600s, was destroyed by a large fire in 2011, but a Concord developer and Maine hotel group purchased the property for $2.1 million and completed a total rebuild of the structure.
The hotel will be managed by the Portland, M.E.-based Migis Hotel Group. Concord-based Omni Properties acted as developer for the project.
“We are thrilled to bring The Groton Inn into our portfolio of fine properties,” said Phil Kronenthal, director of operations of Migis Hotel Group. “We recognize the historic significance of this location, and the new hotel respects that integrity while boasting the world-class amenities and standards of service inherent in the Migis brand. We look forward to becoming a part of this community and are honored to be stewarding this very special property into the next era.”
Also planned to open at the inn this summer is Forge & Vine, a 156-seat freestanding restaurant on nearly nine acres shared with the inn.
According to Massachusetts land records, the groups, under the entity 128 Main Street LLC, were granted two mortgages for the property in 2015 and 2017 worth nearly $13.5 million.
Plans for the inn changed in 2016, when the developers proposed, and were approved, to increase the number of rooms from 43 to 60 and include the hotel.
Other amenities at the inn include a fitness center, free WiFi, courtyard with fireplace, two private banquet rooms, an exclusive boardroom and outdoor spaces for weddings or other events.
Construction on the inn began in September 2016.
