Tavern in the Hawthorne Hotel
About
The Tavern is a restaurant inside the historic Hawthorne Hotel in downtown Salem, with views of Salem Common. It serves a modern take on popular classics in a room with oak paneling and a wood-burning fireplace, and it has a full bar. The directory listing calls it a favorite of locals, and the hotel around it is an established part of the city’s historic center, offering guest rooms as well as dining.
The Hawthorne Hotel is named for author Nathaniel Hawthorne, who was born in 1804 a few blocks away. Nearby sites tied to him include his childhood home, the house where he wrote The Scarlet Letter, the Custom House where he worked, and the House of the Seven Gables. The hotel also runs Nathaniel’s, a separate dining room, and hosts weddings and social events, making the Tavern part of a larger hospitality operation.
