Boutique Hotels

Modern luxury with coastal charm: That’s the secret to the popularity of the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites. Located on picturesque Pickering Wharf with its elegant shops and world-class restaurants, this boutique hotel offers guests everything from a heated indoor pool and state-of-the-art fitness center to a marina and award-winning restaurant. Stroll down the jetty to Derby Wharf Lighthouse, glimpse the majestic three-masted Friendship of Salem, or head downtown to check out the Peabody Essex Museum, the House of the Seven Gables or the Salem Witch Museum. A heritage trail helps you explore this colonial city. And Boston is only a ferry or train ride away. Ask about the Family Vacation and the Stay and Dine or Romance packages.

Luxurious accommodations in two lovingly preserved guest houses and a barn where historic heritage merges with contemporary American chic design, the Inn at Hastings Place offers guests the ultimate New England getaway. Spacious, uniquely appointed rooms and suites in three meticulously restored buildings have amenities from fireplaces to rainforest showers to sumptuous bedding. And dining is exceptional, from the chic Town Meeting Bistro to the exclusive Culinary Garden. Complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning, and bikes are available for those who want to set out on the scenic rail trail. Guest experiences that can be arranged include historical tours, bird watching, private bonfires, mixology and culinary classes. Lexington’s historic sites are nearby; other area activities include hiking, canoeing and apple-picking.
