about the
Emerson Inn by the Sea

The Emerson Inn is a classic Massachusetts oceanfront hotel, perfectly situated between panoramic Halibut Point and charming Bearskin Neck, in Rockport. With over 150 years of history, our Rockport hotel has welcomed travelers from near and far seeking rest and relaxation on scenic Pigeon Cove in a relaxing, natural oceanfront setting.

Beautifully restored to offer our guests modern amenities and conveniences while maintaining the charm & grace of yesteryear, the inn is a perfect getaway for North Shore family vacations, romantic getaways on Cape Ann, or solo travelers seeking rest & respite along the ruggedly beautiful Cape Ann coastline.

Starting with a full service breakfast oceanside, our Inn offers a special environment to savor a unique New England moment on our rocky coast. With a full bar and light food items to enjoy in our roaring 20's themed lounge, or outside on a rocking chair over-looking the Atlantic ocean. Join us in the The Parlor Bar daily with our European vibe, monthly for our Moon Rise party, and weekly filling our spirits with local live music.
