(Hamilton, NY – June 2015) The Hamilton Inn, located on Lake Moraine in Hamilton is scheduled to close as of June 6. The Inn features five guest rooms, a restaurant, bar and banquet services. The Hospitality Concepts Group of Central New York has operated it since 2010. President William “Ben” Eberhardt has held a lease agreement with purchase option for the past five years with owner Huntington and Kildare LLC of Connecticut. However, throughout the term of agreement, a purchase price could not be reached and Eberhardt has decided to allow the lease to expire in June.
“It’s unfortunate. It has been a true privilege to operate the Hamilton Inn, we enjoyed the opportunity to serve the community from such a unique and beautiful property,” Eberhardt said. “Between trying to negotiate a tenable purchase price and knowing the amount of investment needed in the building, we just couldn’t make the numbers work.”
Eberhardt concluded that he is still interested in having further conversations with the owner if the opportunity presents itself.
The Hamilton Inn will remain open for dining and lodging through Saturday, June 6.
Hospitality Concepts Group also manages the Colgate Inn and No. 10 Tavern in Hamilton as well as the Mandana Inn in Skaneateles, the Red Mill Inn in Baldwinsville and the Gould Hotel in Seneca Falls.
