CONWAY — As one looks across the hotel landscape of North Conway and beyond, it’s been a time of growth and transitions in a region that once was home to hundreds of summer establishments at the turn of the 19th century, the Golden Age of large hotels.
Jamsan Management Co. of Lexington, Mass., owns and manages the four-story, 80-room Home2Suites by Hilton that opened in October 2021 on the site of the former Fandangles restaurant that burned in September 2007.
