The Grand Cafe's subdued and rich décor mix with a fabulous array of traditional New England fare, seafood specialties and fine wines and spirits culminating in a memorable meal, making us one of Cape Ann's best vacation resorts.

A complimentary breakfast is included in your room rate, although the offerings vary by season. Read our breakfast page for the details of what is available in this Massachusetts oceanfront hotel.

Emerson Inn by the Sea is fully wired. Enjoy Wi-Fi access in our guestrooms and common areas, even while on a New England holiday.

Not traveling with your laptop? Not to worry, our Business Center has a computer and printer for guest use. Plus, space to spread out and work (if absolutely necessary).

With expansive ocean-view windows, a grand piano, and the hotel’s stunning signature staircase, our grand parlor is the perfect place to sip tea, read a novel, chat with friends, enjoy a light supper, or simply relax in the historic splendor of this magnificent gathering place.

Enjoy an ocean-side swim without enduring the freezing sea water. Our large heated swimming pool offers a place to lounge in the sun or take a refreshing dip. Open seasonally — Memorial Day through September.

This beautiful porch overlooks an unparalleled view of the Atlantic Ocean. It's a wonderfully romantic setting for dinner or for simply whiling away the evening breezes. Settle in a rocking chair and marvel at the lovely light at sunset.

From our logo coffee mugs to our classic signature rocking chairs, you can take a little bit of Emerson Inn by the Sea home with you. Our reception-area store features hats, t-shirts, books and more. Once you get back home you can always purchase items through our online gift shop.

Rich-roasted coffee and premier hot and iced teas are available in the parlor throughout the day for guests' enjoyment. Take advantage of our signature "java on the go" and enjoy a "cup o' joe" on us for the ride home.

Our concierge will be happy to schedule a massage, facial or body treatments at Rockport's local day spa.
