The former Grassmere Inn in Westhampton Beach would become a luxury hotel under an $11.6 million proposal from a local developer, officials said.
Melville-based WHBH Real Estate LLC wants to restore the Grassmere’s main building, which dates to the 1880s, but demolish an annex constructed in the 1960s and 1970s and an adjacent cottage.
In their place, an annex would be added to the main building, along with amenities such as an outdoor pool, fitness center and outdoor lounge area with fire pits. The new hotel would have 16 guest rooms, split equally between the Victorian and modern contemporary styles, said Corey Gluckstal, managing member of the development company.
