Oyster Estate has officially opened in Greenport Village on Long Island’s North Fork, introducing 34 guest rooms, redesigned public spaces, and a courtyard pool to the former Greenporter Hotel.

A new chapter for a Greenport landmark
Developed by Blue Flag Capital with in-house management company Collared Martin Hospitality, Oyster Estate reimagines the former Greenporter Hotel while retaining its existing structure. The renovation touched nearly every element of the guest experience, including accommodations, bathrooms, public areas, the central courtyard, pool, and food-and-beverage spaces.
The hotel sits near Greenport’s working waterfront, with the North Fork’s vineyards and farmland a short drive away. Its location positions Oyster Estate as both a convenient base for visitors and a potential gathering place for local residents.
Design rooted in the North Fork
Blue Flag collaborated with Islyn Studio on interiors inspired by historic bay houses and the coastal landscape. Wood appears throughout the hotel as framing, furniture, built-ins, and architectural enclosure, giving the spaces a warm, grounded quality.
The palette reflects the shoreline through clay tones, weathered greens, and salt-softened stone. Local references are woven into the details, including dried flowers pressed into lobby tiles, ceramics from a nearby maker, and a hay-plaster ceiling recalling the surrounding salt marshes.
Rather than relying on one conventional lobby, the common areas unfold as a collection of residential-style rooms. Books, plants, and found objects contribute to an inviting atmosphere, while the courtyard, patio, and outdoor pool form the property’s social center.
Guest rooms designed for a relaxed stay
Guest rooms include Parachute Home linens and robes, Salt & Stone bath products, Tivoli Bluetooth speakers, minibars, minifridges, Fellow tea kettles, and complimentary coffee and tea. The amenities support the hotel’s broader emphasis on comfortable, considered stays rather than formal luxury.
That approach should appeal to travelers who want easy access to the North Fork’s food, farms, and waterfront while still having a distinctive place to unwind at the end of the day.
Fortune Favors adds food, cocktails, and music
Scheduled to open later in September, Fortune Favors will serve as Oyster Estate’s signature cocktail bar, restaurant, and listening room. Its interiors will contrast with the calmer guest spaces through saturated colors, layered textures, and low, atmospheric lighting.
The menu will pair Asian-inspired dishes with a distinctly Greenport perspective, alongside a cocktail program designed for lingering visits. A dedicated Listening Room will feature vinyl records and a custom sound system, bringing music into the restaurant experience and creating another reason for both guests and locals to return.
Expanding Blue Flag’s East End presence
Oyster Estate is Blue Flag Capital’s third hotel opening on Long Island’s East End in 2026, following Hotel Corduroy in Montauk and Faraway Sag Harbor. The company also expanded beyond the region with Faraway Jackson Hole in Wyoming.
Each property is intended to reflect its setting, and Oyster Estate’s opening suggests a thoughtful new hospitality option for Greenport. By combining local references, flexible social spaces, and a forthcoming food-and-music destination, the hotel gives the North Fork another lively place to gather throughout the year.
