RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — Bradford Allen, a national full-service real estate firm, along with management partner New Castle Hotels & Resorts, today announced the grand reopening of the Hilton Garden Inn Riverhead following an extensive, multimillion-dollar renovation. The 114-key hotel at 2038 Old Country Road sits at the gateway to the North and South Forks of Long Island, including the Hamptons.
Renovations included refreshed guestrooms with new beds, bedding, carpet, bathrooms and furniture, as well as the addition of Peloton bikes to select rooms. Public spaces including the lobby, lounge area and front desk all received new flooring, furniture, accents and lighting, and two check-in pods were added. The hotel’s meeting and event spaces were refreshed with new carpet, paint, lighting and state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment built into each meeting room. Renovations also included brand-new public restrooms off the lobby and meeting area, new exterior paint and improvements to the lobby bar and restaurant as well as the outdoor patio.
The hotel was built in 2008. Bradford Allen acquired the property in December 2023 and began renovations in 2024.
“We’ve reimagined the Hilton Garden Inn Riverhead to offer guests a fresh, modern experience while maintaining the comfort and convenience they expect,” said Aghfar Arun, executive director of hospitality at Bradford Allen. “We’re committed to elevating hospitality at the entryway to Long Island’s premier destinations.”
Located in the middle of Long Island wine country and surrounded by the highest concentration of retail on the East End of Long Island, the Hilton Garden Inn Riverhead is a destination for business and leisure travelers, with proximity to beaches, vineyards, golf courses and other attractions. Amenities include an indoor pool, whirlpool and fire pit.
Bradford Allen in December 2023 also acquired the 131-suite Residence Inn by Marriott located at 2012 Old Country Road, next to the Hilton Garden Inn Riverhead. Together, the hotels are the closest eastbound Hilton- and Marriott-branded properties to the Hamptons, located approximately 20 miles away. New Castle Hotels & Resorts manages both properties.
“This renovation enhances the guest experience with modern design and refreshed amenities, perfectly positioning the Hilton Garden Inn Riverhead as a premier stay for travelers exploring Long Island,” said Scott McIntosh, director of sales at New Castle Hotels & Resorts. “We look forward to welcoming guests to this reimagined gateway to the Hamptons.”
Since launching its hospitality platform in 2022, Bradford Allen has acquired seven hotels totaling about 900 keys. In addition to the Riverhead hotels, the firm currently owns hotel assets in the Glendale Sports and Entertainment District in Glendale, Ariz., a suburb of Phoenix; Fishers, Ind., outside Indianapolis; and Iowa City, Iowa, near the University of Iowa campus. Bradford Allen also plans to open the new Hyatt Centric Rosemont near Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport later this year.
