Farewell Fenwick Sands – Hello Fenwick Shores

The newly designed and constructed Fenwick Shores, a Tapestry Collection by Hilton hotel, opened to guests this month at 1501 Coastal Highway in Fenwick Island, Delaware. The Tapestry Collection is the 14th brand and second collection brand for Hilton, the world’s fastest growing hospitality company. The hotel brand provides travelers with an independent hotel experience with the loyalty they expect from Hilton. The 23,054 square foot hotel replaced the two-story Fenwick Sands Hotel that catered to beach visitors for the last seventy years, following in the footsteps of the Tingle Motel that opened in the same spot in 1948. It includes 65 rooms on three floors with a grand lobby that opens to a large living room and gathering space with a built-in ground level bar. On the second floor there is a Grand Ball room with a “pre-function” space overlooking the living room below. Amenities include a fitness center, outdoor pool, and bar on the third floor and full kitchen to serve the pool and covered dining area. Other Fisher Architecture projects completed for the client include 8th Street Apartments in Ocean City, a business office in Teal Marsh and Concord Pet renovations in West Ocean City.
