Andrea Hotel
Westerly, RI 02891

Andrea HotelMany people ask, "How old is the Andrea?" This is a question we may never know the answer to since there are no town records that exist. We think that the building was probably built between 1870 and 1902.

We do know that a local family purchased the property in the early 1900's to operate a bed and breakfast called the Andrea Tea Room. During that time, the seaside communities of Pleasant View, (now Misquamicut), Watch Hill and Weekapaug flourished as tourists from Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York came to enjoy the lazy days of summer.

In 1938, the most powerful hurricane to hit New England passed directly over Misquamicut. All that remained of the 400 buildings along the Misquamicut coastline were the battered remnants of the Pleasant View Hotel, the Andrea Tea Room, the Wigwam (now Paddy's), and the Atlantic Beach Casino.

In 1946, the Andrea Tea Room was sold to Ralph Colucci Sr. The Colucci family, now in their third generation of management, has been welcoming visitors to Misquamicut Beach for over 50 years. Long recognized as a local landmark, visitors love the personal service and the casual atmosphere that is offered at the Andrea Hotel.
