Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites

Salem Planning Board approved a new hotel called Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites at Pickering Wharf in July 1999, developed by the Rockett family.
After many years of legal battles with the Hawthorne Hotel over the right to build another hotel in the city and many discussions by the city councilors

and mayors about a tax deal given to the new hotel, the feud ended between the Rockett's and others on Oct. 1, 2002.

The Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites, which opened in 2004, has 86 rooms, a restaurant and meeting rooms as well a swimming pool.
