The Northport Hotel is a 26-room boutique hotel located in the heart of Northport Village on Long Island. Thoughtfully designed for companies seeking a more personal, focused alternative, we specialize in leadership offsites, executive stays, and small corporate meetings.

What sets us apart is our scale. We host one meeting group at a time, creating a private, distraction-free environment for groups of up to 20 people. This exclusive approach allows teams to work, connect, and recharge without the pace or distractions of a traditional conference hotel.

At the heart of the hotel is 175, our on-site restaurant offering a refined culinary experience seven days a week. Known for its elevated cuisine, attentive service, and thoughtfully curated wine program, 175 is a natural extension of the guest experience — ideal for executive dinners, client entertaining, and memorable team gatherings.

Trusted by a range of well-known brands, The Northport Hotel offers a refined yet approachable experience that is easily accessible from New York City and Long Island business hubs. Our walkable village location, personalized service, and boutique atmosphere make us a standout choice for corporate travelers seeking both productivity and comfort.

Beyond business travel, The Northport Hotel is also a perfect choice for guests looking for a relaxing getaway, as well as wedding room blocks for couples hosting celebrations in and around Northport Village. Our intimate size, thoughtful amenities, and exceptional dining make every stay feel intentional and memorable.

Whether hosting a leadership retreat, planning a strategy session, enjoying a weekend escape, or celebrating a special occasion, The Northport Hotel delivers a boutique experience where hospitality feels personal and purposeful.
