The Hotel Marblehead
About
The Hotel Marblehead is a boutique hotel in Marblehead set in a Victorian manor and styled with nautical, mid-century modern touches that nod to the building’s long history. Formerly known as The Marblehead Inn, it offers updated rooms and suites with king or queen beds, private baths with walk-in showers or tubs, and plush linens. It suits travelers looking for a coastal New England getaway about 16 miles north of Boston.
The house was built in 1871 for J.P. Harris and passed through several owners, including a shoebox manufacturer and a leather merchant, before Emma J. Fairfield turned it into a summer guest house called Pleasant Manor in the 1920s. Amelia Earhart and her mother stayed there in 1923. The Phelan family ran it as an inn from 1975, the Rockett family renamed it The Marblehead Inn in 1997, and it became The Hotel Marblehead in 2011.
