New Bedford Fairfield Inn & Suites - Now Open!

Welcome to the brand new Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Stay with us and explore New Bedford’s rich history and culture. At one time the world’s most famous whaling seaport and the richest city per capita in the world, this famous old port city was the inspiration for Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. Summer time brings a full calendar of fairs and festivals including the nation’s largest celebration of Portuguese culture, the annual Feast of the Blessed Sacrament. A world-class zoo, a meticulously restored vaudeville Era theatre, a thriving artists community, and proximity to Cape Cod, Boston and Newport, Rhode Island provides something for all.

Our beautiful new waterfront hotel offers 106 deluxe rooms including 28 suites and meeting facilities. Guests can walk to the Martha’s Vineyard/Cuttyhunk Island Fast Ferry Terminal for a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard, and to a host of restaurants offering legendary seafood and ethnic dishes.

Lafrance Hospitality is developing this hotel - the first in the city in over 40 years. Phase II of the project includes the conversion of a historic granite whale oil refinery building adjacent to the hotel, into a conference function facililty called - The Waypoint Event Center.
