Sydney
Sleek, contemporary boutique with coastal New England personality. Bold colors, custom décor, modern amenities — nothing stuffy about it.
The Vintage bottle shop across the street is run by owner John — chat with him about wine picks, then bring your haul to the hotel's afternoon mixer bar setup at 3pm (cranberry juice, ginger ale, bitters, margarita mix all ready to go).
Why It Matters
One of Martha's Vineyard's newest purpose-built boutique hotel buildings, designed from scratch with a thoroughly contemporary aesthetic. It sits steps from Edgartown Harbor and shares the block with the long-running, chef-owned L'Etoile restaurant in the adjacent historic Captain's House.
The Sydney is a 14-room contemporary boutique hotel in the heart of Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard — the island's most walkable and well-heeled village. It opened in 2018 as an all-new building within The Edgartown Collection, designed in a colorful contemporary style with just enough Victorian influence to feel rooted in its surroundings. Think bold patterns, bespoke furnishings, and a designer lounge with a stone fireplace rather than the usual inn-y pastels.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
King Deluxe Room
Extra space over the standard King Room, plus panoramic views of the park or private courtyard. Features a bench at the foot of the king bed and stylish seating — a noticeably more comfortable layout for a longer stay.
King
King Room
Located in The Sydney's new building, these rooms are designed for couples or solo travelers. Plush king bed, a lounge chair, and bespoke furnishings with a contemporary island feel. The smallest category, but well-appointed — not sprawling, but not cramped either.
King
Sydney Suite
The namesake suite — expansive, with a beautifully appointed living area and a separate king bedroom. Elegant décor, plush bathroom, and enough room for families or groups of four. The top pick if you want to spread out and feel like the hotel is yours.
King + Queen Sleeper Sofa
The Vineyard Suite
The ADA-accessible suite and the most uniquely designed room on the property. Separate king bedroom plus a living area with a queen sleeper sofa — room for up to four. Custom décor that stands out from every other room in the building. Two 43" LED Smart TVs. The Lark Suite (as some sources reference it) is fully wheelchair accessible.
