THE HISTORY BEHIND OUR HOTEL

Nestled in the center of the historic town of Seaview,
Shelburne Hotel brings together an old world style
with modern day furnishings to create a charming
and adventurous escape to the Washington Coast.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

Built in 1896, The Shelburne Hotel is the longest continuously operating hotel in Washington State. Renowned architect Charles Beaver built the hotel across the street from where it currently stands.

In 1906, Charles sold the hotel to William Hoare, who owned a building across the street. In 1911, the Hoare family hired a horse and carriage team to pull the building across the road, where it was then attached to the already standing building, creating a 15 room hotel with a large lawn surrounding the property.

Throughout the years, the Shelburne has been a home away from home to weary travelers the world over, and has hosted a variety of artists, musicians and interesting persons. It also attracted a number of spirits which still walk the halls to this day.

A grey-clad building with white-trimmed, arched windows and a dark shingled roof is shown. A sign with the word "Hotel" hangs above one of the doors. The area in front is landscaped with various plants and flowers, and trees are visible in the background.

In 1977, the Shelburne was purchased by Laurie Anderson and David Campiche, who, with the help of Ilwaco architect David Jensen, lovingly created the Pub and Inglenook and remodeled the rooms so that each room would have its own bathroom.

David and Laurie lovingly passed on the stewardship of the Shelburne in 2018 to Tiffany and Brady Turner, the founders of Adrift Hospitality. Long Beach Peninsula locals Tiffany and Brady held their wedding reception at Shelburne, and grew up in its kitchens.

Adrift Hospitality is committed to preserving this historic building and the important history behind it for many years to come.
