Mother’s Day may be behind us, but the gratitude stays. 💐

Yesterday, our hotels were filled with brunches, family gatherings, and moments worth celebrating—from guests sharing meals together to associates celebrating the moms and mother figures on our own teams. Thank you to everyone who spent the day with us, and to the teams who made each brunch and celebration feel special with genuine care and hospitality.

To all the moms and mother figures—thank you for everything you do, every day.

We’re excited to share the addition of two iconic York Beach oceanfront properties to the Colwen Hotels portfolio: Ocean Surf at York Beach and Ocean Sands at York Beach, opening for the 2026 season.

Formerly known as York Beach Surf Club and Sea Latch Inn, these properties are being reintroduced under new ownership and management, with a renewed focus on the guest experience and the coastal setting that has made this destination a favorite for generations.

Located along one of Maine’s most beloved stretches of shoreline, Ocean Surf and Ocean Sands offer distinct but complementary stays—each thoughtfully positioned to deliver a refreshed take on York Beach.

We look forward to welcoming guests back to the coast in refreshed and renovated guestrooms, suites, and cottages, all set on the ocean.

This St. Patrick’s Day 🍀 we’re proud to introduce Malones Irish Pub & Social at the newly renovated Renaissance Framingham Hotel & Conference Center. 🏰

Malones is a rebirth of the beloved Irish pub that first opened at the “castle hotel” in 1991, now reimagined as a modern gathering place for hotel guests, meeting attendees, wedding parties, and the local community.

Guests can expect elevated pub fare, a thoughtful beverage program featuring signature Irish Coffees ☕️, and a warm, social atmosphere that celebrates both Irish hospitality and Framingham’s own story.

We look forward to welcoming you to Malones Irish Pub & Social and raising a glass to this next chapter at the castle. 🍻 Sláinte.
