The 130 Year Old Harbor View Hotel on Martha's Vineyard Just Unveiled a Major Renovation

Ask any builder or real estate pro about the impact of salt air on properties, and they’ll knowingly offer a pained squint and mention the inevitable wear and tear. Which is why it’s heartening to see the 130-year-old, 117-room Harbor View Hotel on Martha’s Vineyard unveil a striking renovation. The property’s owner, Bernard Chiu, clearly understands how history and modernity mesh beautifully—of course, it doesn’t hurt that the property’s endless views include Edgartown Harbor. Bring on those October skies. From $785, 131 N. Water St., Edgartown, 877.624.7992, harborviewhotel.com
