BETHANY BEACH, Del.
Real Hospitality Group (RHG) announced the official opening of Bethany Beach Ocean Suites. Designed by Distinctive Hospitality Designs, the new luxury hotel on Delaware’s Atlantic Coast is a collection of 112 suites and the first full-service property located directly on Bethany Beach.
Bethany Beach Ocean Suites has a full-service spa, oceanfront dining and 4,400 square feet of meeting and event space for up to 300. Premium accommodations and amenities are accompanied by quiet respite between the retail offerings in Rehoboth Beach, Del., and Ocean City, Md.
“Bethany Beach Ocean Suites provides an entirely new breath of fresh air to the area and we’re both proud and excited to be part of that,” says Patrick Staib, a Delaware native and General Manager. “The property perfectly complements the surrounding community.”
Each of the hotel’s 112 suites feature private balconies, many of which overlook the Atlantic Ocean or Bethany Beach Boardwalk. Accommodations include kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, high-quality linens, Paul Mitchell amenities and pull-out couches. Clean, neutral interiors reflecting coastal touches are found in the suites and throughout the property. The interior design efforts hone nautical accents such as beach photography, vibrant turquoise hues and porthole-inspired hanging mirrors.
Property-wide complimentary Wi-Fi extends onto the beach. The saltwater pool has a retractable roof with year-round events and wellness programming including poolside yoga and meditation. A number of children’s activities are available, with arts and crafts and carnival game nights.
Meeting and event space at Bethany Beach Ocean Suites includes a Grand Ballroom for up to 300 people, a 12-person executive boardroom and 52-person conference room. Meetings can be customized with LCD projectors or monitors, plus personalized healthy menus, teambuilding exercises and beach activities. In addition to dedicated event planners, the hotel has destination wedding specialist.
Signature restaurant 99 Sea Level is named for the destination’s address at 99 Hollywood Street. Chef Danio Samosa has partnered with nearby farms and fisheries to create seasonal, new American menus with locally grown and raised produce, meats and seafood.
Many dishes are designed for sharing, such as a signature seafood tower and a seafood-inspired starters menu. Other menu items include Purple Spinach & Arugula Salads; Miso-Glazed Halibut with Gingered Carrots; and Honey-Glazed, Brome Lake Duck Breasts with Shiitake Mushroom Sauce. The oceanfront restaurant also offers premier dining directly on the boardwalk, another first for Bethany Beach.

The bar’s menu includes a variety of local craft beers, wines, plus cocktails infused with house-made syrups, tonics and seasonal fruit juices. In the dining room and at the bar, dessert wines are served in chocolate-dipped stemware.
The Spa by Oceanova offers various body treatments, facials, beauty and salon services which utilize natural products befitting the beachfront locale. Opening rates at Bethany Beach Ocean Suites start from $489 per night. In the winter season, rates will start at $199 per night.
