About The Bayview Hotel
An Iconic Italiante Hotel & Grill Est. 1878

Upon entering the lobby, you are greeted with a sense of the history within its hallowed halls, under high ceilings of stamped metal. The towering bar has operated with a type 47 liquor license which can be separately acquired.

To the rear, a broad patio opens out to the remaining relics of the lush gardens that bedeck its outdoor venues and carry echoes of the many memories that have been celebrated here through the years.
In all, the hotel offers 14 state rooms, most of which include en-suite baths or showers, including several suites which have been traditionally reserved for use by its operators and/or staff.
