Fisher Architecture Announced Cambria Hotel Ocean City – Bayfront is Open to Guests

The newly designed and constructed Cambria Hotel sitting on the site of the former Cropper concrete plant, just north of the Route 50 bridge is open to visitors. Eight stories high, this iconic hotel project will continue to be known for forever changing the skyline of Ocean City, Maryland. With private balconies overlooking the bay, the Cambria Hotel offers luxuries including an indoor heated pool and spa, seasonal outdoor pool with cabanas, a future tiki bar, outdoor fire pits, fitness center, meeting space and business center and a future rooftop restaurant and bar with a view of Assateague Island, Isle of Wight Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The visual impact on Ocean City’s downtown had been a highly debated topic of discussion from the beginning of the project. The Ocean City Planning and Zoning Commission ended up approving a new site plan that reconfigured its alignment to reduce the impact on the downtown view and neighboring properties and significantly minimized the square footage of lot coverage. Cambria Hotel Ocean City – Bayfront was recently awarded the “New Construction Award” by the Ocean City Development Corporation. This marks the fourth OCDC award for Fisher Architecture.

The design of the hotel is inspired by its location. The coastal designs, elegant textures and modern finishes capture Ocean City’s true beach town charm.

There is definitely a WOW factor when people walk into the lobby. It was wonderful working with Fisher Architecture. They were right for the job because their vision and my vision aligned. We knew this was the future of the inlet. Now when people drive across the Rt. 50 bridge, they see a jaw dropping hotel that will deliver a phenomenal Ocean City experience.

The Cambria Hotel project contains many of the architectural features consistent with our downtown design standards. uch features include light siding colors, full porches, and pitched roof. It can be very challenging to make a tall structure comply with these design standards, but the Cambria Hotel owners and Fisher Architecture did a very nice job. We look forward to this project becoming a focal point for people entering Ocean City and our downtown district.

While there is quite a story behind this project with the hurdles we faced before breaking ground, the evolution of the property is a proven success in the eyes of the town, the local community and Ocean City guests
