Wentworth History
About Wentworth by the Sea, a Historic Gem Among New Castle Hotels

Since 1874, Wentworth by the Sea Hotel & Spa has stood as beacon of elegance among the grand Portsmouth, New Hampshire hotels that once graced the coastline. Our waterfront enclave boasts an illustrious history, having hosted social, business and political leaders from around the globe. After an extensive $30 million restoration, the Wentworth has returned to its former grandeur and became a premier Marriott Hotel & Spa in the spring of 2003.

Today, our award-winning retreat continues its legacy as the grandest of New Castle hotels, providing guests with 161 guest rooms and suites, exceptional dining, and a host of resort-style amenities including a full-service spa, and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Stroll through our historic gardens or enjoy a friendly match on our tennis court. Guests arriving at our coastal resort by sea can even take advantage of the resort’s 170-slip marina.

Wentworth by the Sea is also New Hampshire's premier destination for meetings, conferences and romantic Portsmouth weddings. Choose from over 10,000 square feet of enchanting event space, including three beautifully-restored ballrooms, a sophisticated Executive Boardroom and pre-function space overlooking the ocean. At Wentworth by the Sea, our seasoned staff and extensive event services will delight every guest on your list.

January 16 through February 15, 2015

The Winter Wine Festival at the Wentworth by the Sea enjoyed unprecedented success last year, selling out every event! With that lucky streak in mind, new events have been added to complement last year’s winning series of food and wine celebrations.

For one night only, the newly designed Latitudes Restaurant will be opened for a special wine event never before done in the Festival’s ten year history. Another festival first: a single varietal dinner featuring all (serious!) Pinot Noirs.

The Grand Vintner’s Dinners continue with a roster of winemakers ranging from the creators of some of the most ubiquitous and acclaimed wines in the industry to wines with cult followings. Shell-shocked, an oyster and wine celebration, shocked us all with how many oysters can be consumed in one evening (2,000!) – so we are bringing it back twice this year! And it was unanimous – everyone loved the Big Tastings, so this year we invite you to experience their bounty again on two Friday evenings. Flight Nights have firmly and comfortably landed in SALT’s Lounge to take you away any and every night during the week (except Fridays – that’s part of the weekend anyway, isn’t it?!)

The ever-popular Bubbles & Jazz Brunches have new and trending sparkling wines – some scoring 90 points or more – to add to the effervescence of that last day of the weekend.

So, whatever your party persuasion; (and we mean party as in celebration!) big or small, you will find nothing less than critically hailed wines with inspired food in a most gracious setting.
