The Best Place to Host Your Holiday Party: Sugar Water Restaurant on the Eastern Shore

The holidays are all about laughter, twinkling lights, and the joy of gathering with friends, family, and colleagues. But when it comes to actually hosting, the stress of cooking, decorating, and organizing can take away from the magic. That's why so many guests call Sugar Water Restaurant, inside the historic Washington Hotel, the best place to host a holiday party on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Whether you're planning a Thanksgiving dinner, a festive office party, or a cozy Christmas celebration, Sugar Water makes it easy to enjoy the season without the hassle. From warm hospitality and custom events to a boutique hotel stay upstairs, it's everything you need to make your holiday gathering unforgettable.

Gather, Celebrate, and Truly Enjoy

Anyone who has hosted a holiday meal knows how quickly "festive" can turn into "frazzled." Hours of prepping, endless dishes, last-minute runs to the store -- all while trying to actually enjoy your guests. Hosting with Sugar Water changes all of that.

From the moment you walk into our beautifully decorated restaurant inside the Washington Hotel, you'll feel the holiday spirit. Cozy lighting, festive decor, and the buzz of happy conversation create the perfect backdrop for your celebration. Whether you're planning a small family dinner, a lively office holiday party, or a festive night out with friends, our team handles the hard work so you can relax, laugh, and focus on making memories.

And the best part? When the night ends, you don't have to worry about a pile of dirty dishes or cleaning up. You just walk away with the glow of a holiday well spent.

Your Holiday, Your Way

No two celebrations are alike -- and that's what makes the holidays so special. At Sugar Water, we help you design a gathering that feels personal and welcoming, whether that means an intimate plated dinner, a cheerful cocktail party, or a large buffet-style feast.

Extend the Celebration at the Washington Hotel

Why let the fun after dessert? Turn your gathering into a full holiday experience by booking a stay at the Washington Hotel, our lovingly restored 18th-century inn.

After a night of good food, laughter, and holiday cheer at Sugar Water, retreat upstairs to one of our boutique guest rooms.

In the morning, enjoy a slow start with coffee, breakfast, and maybe even a holiday stroll through downtown Princess Anne.

It's the perfect way to make your celebration last a little longer. Guests traveling from out of town will love the convenience of staying right where the party is, and locals can trat themselves to a well-deserved holiday staycation.
