Green Initiatives

Inn at Nye Beach strives to use renewable, low emission, and environmentally conscious energy sources as well as using re-purposed and eco-friendly materials throughout the hotel.

Newport's fascinating history can be traced back from homesteaders in the 1860s through the Prohibition era, when our hotel was the former site of the Viking’s Cottages. The allure of Nye Beach’s hot sea baths and gorgeous coastline attracted early visitors.

Our concept for the Inn at Nye Beach included a keen eye for conserving the rich history of the former accommodation as well as the environment. Renewable and re-purposed materials are a design influence throughout the property.

Wooden members and other items from the Viking’s Cottages were salvaged for reuse in in-room furniture, trim work and internal construction. If the old wood was unusable due to deterioration, it was chipped and used for landscaping.

The Inn At Nye Beach proudly features:

• Energy Star appliances
• Low-energy compact florescent lighting
• Water saving showers and dual-option water saving toilets
• Tear-down materials from the former Viking’s Cottages were recycled/reused
