MANCHESTER INN - AN INN FOR ALL REASONS
The Manchester Inn and Secret Garden Restaurant are steps from the white sandy beach and the gentle surf of the Atlantic Ocean. Just one block from the ocean and 1/2 block from the Great Auditorium, the Inn is approximately one hour from New York City and Philadelphia, but a world away. It is one of historic Ocean Groves most delightful Victorian inns. Enjoy the cooling ocean breezes from our rocking chair porch while overlooking Ocean Pathway, Ocean Groves finest avenue.
The Manchester Inn offers the perfect haven for a relaxed escape from the noise and confusion of most resort areas. Magic embraces the charming elegance of the Manchester every day, from the pillared front gallery to the fabulous full-service restaurant.
Built in the 1870's as two separate Inns, the Manchester boasts Victorian decor and uniquely decorated rooms. Around 1925 the two Inns and the house on Bath Avenue, in the rear, were joined to form the current Inn. The spacious lobby features a Steinway piano and camel back sofas.
The wooden-railed main staircase ascends to muraled hallways. The halls feature hand painted New Jersey lighthouses on sandy beaches, silhouettes of Victorian families and the Inns collection of antique hand mirrors.
The second floor features 5 rooms with private porches over looking the ocean. The Terrace, joining the two buildings, is an ideal spot to relax in peace and quiet. The third and forth floors are unique in design and character and have views of the Ocean, Auditorium and the Pathway.

For food lovers, connoisseurs, and those who like their dinner to be the evenings main event, its the Secret Garden Restaurant that attracts them throughout the year. The New American Cuisine menu ranges from naughty to nutritious and light meals specializing in mouth-watering pasta and seafood specialties.
The Victorian atmosphere is perfect for weddings. From the white columned double-doored entrance to the bright and cheerful dining room, the Inn is transformed into a special place for the intimate wedding celebration.
The Inn is perfect for the small meeting planner who is looking for the place to inspire participants and attendees. The decor is certainly not similar to the chain hotels and creates an environment of peace and tranquility. With 35 rooms and a full service restaurant / meeting room, it is ideal for corporate training and seminars, providing an intimate and relaxed atmosphere within to learn.
