Blue Flag Capital Announces Opening of Oyster Estate
GREENPORT, New York—Blue Flag Capital, in partnership with in-house management company Collared Martin Hospitality, announced the opening of Oyster Estate, a reimagined 34-key boutique hotel in Greenport Village. Debuting as Blue Flag Capital’s third hotel on Long Island’s East End, Oyster Estate welcomes guests today with the opening of its guestrooms, public spaces, and courtyard pool. Fortune Favors, the property’s signature cocktail-forward dining destination, will follow later in September.
Oyster Estate is situated in the heart of Greenport Village, just steps from its working waterfront and a short drive to some of the North Fork’s best vineyards and farmland. The hotel introduces a new hospitality experience that captures the understated, creative energy of the North Fork and is designed to serve as a gathering place for both travelers and the local community.
Statements From Leadership
“Oyster Estate represents exactly what we look for at Blue Flag: a property with an established history in a destination that has a very clear identity of its own,” said Jason Brown, co-Founder and chief executive officer of Blue Flag Capital. “Our goal was to understand what makes the North Fork special and create something that feels genuinely connected to how people live, gather, and travel here today.”
“We approached the Greenporter with a lot of respect for its history and the role it has played in the community, while recognizing the opportunity to evolve it into something entirely new,” added Brad Guidi, co-founder and chief development officer of Blue Flag Capital. “The bones of the property remain, but nearly every aspect of the guest experience was reimagined, drawing inspiration from Greenport’s maritime heritage and creative spirit to create something that feels distinctly rooted in the North Fork.”
Property Details
A transformation of the former Greenporter Hotel, Oyster Estate retains the existing structure while completely refreshing the guest experience. Guestrooms, bathrooms, public spaces, the central courtyard and pool, and food and beverage have all been updated.
Designed by Blue Flag in collaboration with Islyn Studio, Oyster Estate draws inspiration from the historic bay houses along the Long Island coast and the surrounding landscape. Interiors are layered and material-driven, with wood used throughout as framing, furniture, enclosure, and built-ins. The color palette is drawn from the nearby shoreline, with clay tones, weathered greens, and salt-softened stone, while flowers gathered throughout Greenport are dried and pressed into lobby tiles.
The hotel’s common spaces are designed as a series of lived-in rooms rather than a singular lobby. Books, found local objects, and plant life are layered throughout, while gathering spaces include the reimagined courtyard, patio, and outdoor pool. In-room touches include Parachute Home linens and robes, Salt & Stone bath amenities, Tivoli Bluetooth speakers, in-room minibars and minifridges, Fellow tea kettles, and complimentary coffee and tea.
Food & Beverage
Opening later in September, Fortune Favors is the hotel’s signature cocktail bar, listening room, and culinary destination. Fortune Favors pairs Asian-inspired dishes expressed through a Greenport lens with a cocktail program, and it includes a dedicated Listening Room where spinning vinyls and a sound system designed specifically for the space bring music into the experience.
“With Fortune Favors opening later this month, we’re excited to introduce another layer to the Oyster Estate experience, creating a place where guests and locals alike can come together over food, cocktails, and music,” said Eric Freitas Orford, managing director, New York. “Looking ahead, we’re also excited to build out programming that connects visitors more deeply with everything Greenport and the surrounding North Fork have to offer, while creating experiences that give the local community new reasons to return throughout the year.”
