HISTORY OF HOTEL GINGER
Since 1873, this hotel has been the first stop of sailors, film makers, a few Kennedys, and, once upon a time, ladies of questionable repute (before WWII). The building was renovated from top to bottom, preserving all of the Victorian bits and spending $1M in modern luxury.
The space is inspired by iconic women–Beyonce, Audrey Hepburn, Diana Ross, Joan Rivers and more–and their paths as style, political and cultural leaders. Ginger has the taste of a fashion designer, the energy of a comic and the ironic wit of an art-school dropout. The result is a boutique hotel in lively conversation with the Vineyard's Gingerbread Quarter.
