Andrea
Hotel
Westerly, RI 02891
 Many
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.
