 Stepping into the lobby of
the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel on your weekend
getaway is like stopping for a visit in the parlor of a friend's grand old
Victorian home.
To your left is an intimate
sitting parlor with fireplace and rich, antique mantle dotted with Victorian era
photos. To your
right a friendly, animated bird beside a worn, wooded writing desk, with period
phone and Tiffany lamp.
And straight ahead, bellhops in tuxedo shirts, bowties and suspenders welcome you
to your stay in a gentler more luxurious era.
Rehoboth's Boardwalk Plaza Hotel is no faux beach resort, but a genuine Victorian
oceanfront hotel built from the ground up in 1991 by the family that has owned an
inn on the property since 1958. Family grandmother, Ruth Ann Zerby, has meticulously
handpicked the antiques, which appear throughout the four-story, 84-room hotel.
It's the attention to detail that has made the Boardwalk Plaza the only AAA
Four Diamond oceanfront hotel in the Mid-Atlantic.
The Boardwalk Plaza's guests change seasonally with summertime bringing families
enjoying the beach and the hotel's indoor-outdoor pool spa. The fall attracts guests
who stroll the boardwalk and appreciate Rehoboth's slower, off-season pace. Winter
is dedicated to romance with couples escaping the cold for the warmth of the hotel's
bygone era.
 The
Boardwalk Plaza Hotel sits directly on the Rehoboth boardwalk with only a
sandy beach between guests and the Atlantic—it's a place to while away the
evening sipping a pint to the sounds of the Atlantic or watching the big game. Eight
deep, high-backed leather chairs—each with its own throw blanket—wait
for you to settle in with a drink and a good book. A chess set sits at the ready
and a bowtied bartender mans the antique bar.
The hotel offers 12 suite
types ranging from family-friendly accommodations with two queen beds and separate
sitting area with sleeper sofa, to couple-friendly suites with single, king poster
beds and bedroom whirlpool bathtubs for two.
Each elegantly appointed hallway is also lined with antique desks, benches and lamps.
With the many shops and
restaurants of downtown
Rehoboth Beach only a short stroll down the boardwalk, you'll have everything
you need to enjoy a luxurious ocean front vacation.
