Lovely old hotel with plenty of older worlde character. Great lobby area. The Tavern, off the lobby, was also full of character and great standard of meals. Only drawback with our room no.617 was having to negotiate the toilet which protruded across the doorway.

Frequent the hotel, have stayed overnight by history even though we're within walking distance. The Tavern and Dining Room both have charm and appeal, food is delicious, consistent. The Fruit & Cheese Platter is yummy, serves 4-6 + for a …

To be in such a charming, historical hotel that's literally right in the heart of Salem has been such an incredible experience. The rooms are beautiful, the service prompt and friendly, and the ambiance unmatched. We got lucky to have a view of the street below, and waking up to that every morning has been great. We reserved a standard king room, and, while small, it's beautiful. I'd like to give an additional shout-out to the staff in the particular week we went because they had a full day of extensive water work that required the entire hotel's water to be shut off for a whole day. We were informed about this well before our stay and then again after arriving, as well as with a letter beneath the door. They prepped with what accommodations they could and it gave us plenty of time to prepare to spend a day out and get back just in time to have water back on. The whole ordeal was handled with class and care.

We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at the Hawthorne Hotel, and we truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the very beginning, the sales team was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. A special shoutout to Jocelyn—she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire planning process and execution. She made everything feel organized, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. We went with the Timeless Wedding Package, and it honestly exceeded all of our expectations. Everything from the food, service, flow of the day, and attention to detail was flawless. Our guests had nothing but great things to say. The Hawthorne really felt like a home away from home throughout the entire weekend, which made the experience even more special for us and our families. If you’re considering getting married here, we highly recommend it. The Hawthorne made our wedding weekend feel effortless and truly unforgettable.

I stayed with a friend of mine here during the off-season (January 2026), and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. When we first checked in, the staff was amazing and polite (this continued throughout the trip). Further, the hotel was very lively and clean, with many amenities that made it live up to the 'Historic' hotel brand. Lastly, the restaurant, particularly the tavern, was absolutely wonderful. Nothing better than enjoying a delicious bread pudding with a pint of Guinness to end a busy day in the area.

Check in crew was lovely, and the room was comfortable. No ghost activity, unfortunately, but it was still a good stay. I also really appreciated that you can still leave your car in their lot for the day after you check out so you can get maximum time walking around and exploring. Would absolutely recommend staying here!

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem this weekend for our first Valentine’s Day together, and we absolutely loved it. The entire experience felt special from the moment we arrived. The architecture, artwork, and historic layout give the hotel so much character, and the atmosphere perfectly captures Salem’s classic, slightly spooky charm without ever feeling gimmicky. The vibe is really what makes this place stand out — cozy, historic, and just mysterious enough to make the stay memorable. We even had two small moments that felt a little… suspicious on the paranormal side, which honestly just added to the fun and the story of the trip. Beyond that, the service was excellent across the board. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and the location couldn’t be better for exploring Salem on foot. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and a perfect place to spend a Valentine’s weekend. We’d absolutely come back again.

This hotel is well located just off Salem’s pedestrian street. There were numerous eateries and attractions within walking distance. Like any historical building, the room didn’t have the latest of everything, but it was clean, …

We booked directly with the hotel and had a room on the second floor, overlooking Essex Street, one of the main streets running the length of the downtown. Even though we were so close to the busy street we did not hear any street noise! We …
