New Additions to Lark’s Signature Brand Collection Include Spots in Cambridge, Falmouth, and Plymouth, Mass., and The Hamptons

Portsmouth, New Hampshire Lark, the premium New England-based development and management company encompassing multiple boutique hospitality brands, announces their premier lifestyle brand will grow exponentially in 2026 with the openings of four Lark Hotels properties: Cambridge Common House (Cambridge, Mass.), The Drew Hotel (Plymouth, Mass.), Shore Haven (Falmouth, Mass.) and The Penny Lane (Hampton Bays, New York). These debuts come on the heels of several additions to Lark’s portfolio of independent hotels under management, including The Vietta Hotel (Kissimmee, Florida), and The Painted Lady (Birmingham, Alabama).

Slated to open in early spring 2026, Cambridge Common House will be a boutique lodging house just outside of Cambridge’s Harvard Square at 2 Garden Street. The property will have 16 rooms, all uniquely designed by Elder & Ash, as well as a lower level lounge space for guests to enjoy breakfast, refreshments, and coffee throughout the day.

Set in a fully renovated historic building in Plymouth, Massachusetts, The Drew Hotel will showcase 25 beautifully appointed guestrooms in the town’s central downtown area, just steps from the harbor. The name Drew is deeply rooted in the early history of Plymouth, dating back to John Drew Sr., an English settler who arrived around 1660. The Drew Hotel is expected to open in spring 2026.

Formerly The Drake Inn in Hampton Bays, New York, The Penny Lane will open its doors in the spring of 2026 after a full renovation. The 18-room property is environmentally conscious with no single-use plastics, and solar energy. The Penny Lane will feature amenities like a pool, waterfront location with boat slips, and pet-friendly accommodations.

Shore Haven, formerly known as the Beach Breeze Inn in Falmouth, Massachusetts, will debut after an extensive redesign and rebrand in spring of 2026. This 21-room boutique hotel is set in the former home of the Falmouth Glass Factory. It’s walking distance to the beach and features an outdoor pool and multiple lounge spaces.

“2026 will be a banner year for Lark,” said Lark Founder and Chairman, Rob Blood. “Each of these four properties will bring something really special to the hospitality landscape. From a historic lodging house in Cambridge to a sustainable, oceanfront hotel in the Hamptons, these openings speak to the ethos of our company. They’re character-rich properties, each with an independent spirit, and the warm, customized service Lark is known for.”

Lark’s most recent acquisition was 907 Main in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Previously operated by Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy, Lark’s industry expertise allowed 907 Main to reopen in a matter of weeks following Sonder’s filing for bankruptcy.

In 2025, seven Lark properties were awarded prestigious Michelin Keys from Michelin Guide, a coveted honor that recognizes the country’s most outstanding accommodations. Lark’s most recent openings were The Bow Hotel, a reimagined hotel tucked within a historic warehouse in Portsmouth, and AWOL Stowe, the third location of its emerging AWOL brand in the heart of Stowe, Vermont, complete with an outdoor Nordic spa deck and free-standing A-frame cabins. In late 2024, the brand’s growth accelerated rapidly upon forming a joint venture with contextual brand and operator, Life House.
