A New Chapter for Provincetown's Crown & Anchor

New Owner to Invest $5 Million, Preserve Iconic Venue

The Crown & Anchor, a beloved landmark in Provincetown, is under new ownership. Tristan Schukraft will take over next month, investing over $5 million to revitalize the property. While the hotel will get a new name, the main venue will retain its historic identity.

A Community Hub

More than just a hotel, the Crown & Anchor is a cornerstone of Provincetown. It's a place for guests to stay, dine, and celebrate. Schukraft aims to enhance the experience, envisioning the pool as the new heart of the town.

Preserving the Past, Embracing the Future

Some locals worry that renovations might strip the venue of its charm. They hope the Crown & Anchor remains accessible and true to its roots, especially for the LGBTQ+ community.

A Proven Leader

Schukraft isn't new to this. He owns other properties in gay-friendly destinations worldwide. The previous owners trust him to uphold the Crown & Anchor's legacy.

Provincetown's Evolution

As Provincetown changes, some fear it may lose its unique character, becoming more like Nantucket. The Crown & Anchor remains a vital part of what makes the town special—a place where everyone belongs.
