What it's like

From the moment you step under the blue awning and through the double doors, the historic Hawthorne Hotel will make you feel right at home. It starts with personal service from a seasoned staff who believe that hospitality is the cornerstone of an exceptional stay. The Hawthorne has been an integral part of the city of Salem and Boston's North Shore since its inception in 1925. This beautifully restored, stately Federal-style hotel is named for author Nathaniel Hawthorne, who spent his childhood in Salem. While the hotel is steeped in historical charm, its warm and inclusive spirit is timeless.
