“With panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and tranquil Assawoman Bay, oceanfront food and beverage service and amenities, the region’s best event and wedding spaces, spacious, well-appointed guestrooms, Ocean City’s award-winning destination restaurant, Tide Room, and one of the city’s only beach bars serving on the sand, Ashore is defining a new standard for destination travel on the Maryland coast – and now it comes with the added benefits of Marriott Bonvoy,” said Ashore Oceanfront General Manager Zoe Jankovic.
Located in a prime beachfront location in Ocean City, Maryland, the striking destination underwent substantial renovations and further upgrades to the hotel are being completed as part of the Marriott affiliation, including a complete reimagining of the property’s market-leading event and banquet spaces, lobby check-in experience, café, fitness center and other guest-centric upgrades to meet Marriott’s world-class guest experience standards.
With 250 fully renovated rooms and suites, including 15 multi-room suites, the property is suitable for individuals, families (including pets) and groups of all sizes.
