Emerson Inn By The Sea: An Oceanfront Rockport Hotel

Under new ownership since 2021, The Emerson Inn has been revamped to bring back the jazz era with Roaring 20s art deco flair across all public spaces and many of the 35 en suite rooms, while keeping the historical roots of the Inn clear to all who visit.   Welcoming travelers since 1846, the Inn (operating as the Pigeon Cove House at the time) is located in the picturesque Pigeon Cove area of Rockport, just off the Atlantic Path, and offers a short stroll to Halibut Point State Park.
