Emerson Inn by the Sea

Nestled along the rugged coastline of New England, this boutique hotel is the perfect blend of history, elegance, and seaside tranquility. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the salty breeze and the warm glow of a beautifully restored building that exudes charm and character. The location couldn’t be better, the hotel offers breathtaking ocean views from nearly every corner. Whether enjoying morning coffee on the veranda or watching the sunrise paint the sky from your room, the panorama is nothing short of spectacular. The hotel’s restaurant showcases New England flavors at their finest, with fresh seafood caught daily and locally sourced ingredients woven into inventive yet comforting dishes. Whether savoring buttery lobster sliders, creamy seafood casserole, or a steaming bowl of clam chowder, every bite feels like a love letter to the region’s rich culinary heritage. While deeply rooted in history, the hotel seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern amenities. The décor creates a sense of place that feels both inviting and sophisticated. Cozy nooks and locally inspired artwork make every space feel thoughtfully curated. Clean rooms with very comfortable beds and the service from arrival to departure was wonderful. For anybody seeking an unforgettable escape, this New England coastal retreat delivers in every way. The stunning scenery, impeccable dining, and undeniable character make it a destination worth returning to. Whether visiting for a romantic getaway, a writer’s retreat, or simply a quiet moment by the sea, this hotel is a true hidden gem.

This is a jem in an beautiful New England town. Charming, elegant and Kimbery is an amazing host. Sunrise is the most beautiful I've seen overlooking the beautiful ocean. If you time it right, you could see whales off the shore. Must go! cute shops nearby.

This Inn was the perfect start to our drive up the New England coast. Our quaint room had everything we needed and we enjoyed dinner in the restaurant. Our breakfast the next morning was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed exploring the coast and walking along the coastal footpath. We highly recommend the Emerson Inn.
