Join us for our Grand Opening Celebration, Memorial Day weekend!
We are pleased to announce the opening of McMenamins Gearhart Hotel, located in the historic Kelly House, the same building that houses McMenamins Sand Trap Pub and Gearhart Golf Links pro shop. Eighteen guest rooms are being constructed on the third floor of the Cape Cod-style building, featuring king- or queen-sized beds with en suite bathrooms and decorated in a Pacific Northwest coastal style integrating McMenamins' signature artwork. Overnight reservations are now being accepted. Rates start at $130 per night.
The hotel is open beginning May 11 and we'll have live music by Yarn as part of the Great NW Music Tour. Then we'll celebrate in grand style Memorial Day weekend which will include a golf tournament, live music, McMenamins ales, wines and spirits tastings. The Gearhart Golf Links, built in 1892, is one of the oldest links courses west of the Mississippi, and will celebrate its 120th anniversary in 2012.
About the Gearhart Hotel
This new hotel had three predecessors over the past 122 years, each at different sites in Gearhart, but all connected with the pioneer golf course. 
The original Hotel Gearhart, built in 1890, was a popular summertime retreat for wealthy Portlanders and their families. Within a year or two, an informal golf course was laid out nearby (which evolved into today's 18-hole Gearhart Golf Links). The hostelry burned down in 1913, as did it successor, two years later. The third Hotel Gearhart opened in 1923, and remained an Oregon Coast landmark until being razed in 1972.
This newest incarnation of the Gearhart Hotel is "a phoenix rising from the ashes," a welcome place not only for golfers but for visitors all along the coast. Located just across the way from the Pacific Ocean, the hotel is a convenient spot from which to explore Oregon's seaside towns and villages.
