We are proud to announce that the Hawthorne Inn has been recognized by www.Forbes.com as one of “The 10 Best Inns Of New England”. It is gratifying to be placed in the company of such prestigious and well-known hostelries. The author of this fine Travel Feature, Breckinridge Ely, identifies the hospitality that we provide to our guests as one of the chief reasons to seek out the Hawthorne Inn.

Continental Airlines magazine has printed a lovely piece about Autumn colors in New England in their September 2001 issue under the banner “Frommer’s Travel Guide Update: New England”. Several areas of exquisite scenery are mentioned including historic Concord, Massachusetts. The article goes on to say “ the Hawthorne Inn is the quintessential New England country inn”.

In the wake of the hurt and destruction caused by the terrorist attacks of September 11 we were sought out by the NBC television affiliate in Boston to represent the lodging industry. We appeared in the nightly news in a very well executed piece by reporter Byron Barnett that explored the ancillary and far reaching impact, of the terrible deeds, upon the travel and tourist industry. We were grateful to be able to participate and there-in to assuage the sense of helplessness by empowering our friends, neighbors and fellow citizens to take an active role in the economic well being of our nation. Marilyn was also given the opportunity to develop this theme to more depth on our local talk radio station.

We are still receiving notice from readers of an article titled “Catching Fall Colors Where America Began” that appeared as the cover of the Travel Section in the Sunday Los Angeles Times. The Times Travel Writer, Susan Spano, was kind enough to include a description of her stay at the Hawthorne Inn in her writings and to declare that her guestroom “was a pure pleasure”.

Our thanks goes out to the Concord Journal who recently honored our benchmark achievement with a front-page article titled “No checking-out: Hawthorne Inn owners mark 25th anniversary”. Staff Writer, Betsy Levinson took great effort to document our tenure as Innkeepers lovingly tending our historic property.

Boston’s Metro West Daily News published a cover-page article on the Inn and our life-style in the Your Home section replete with lush color photos. News Correspondent, Penny Abner-Kahn, used her piece titled “In with the Inn crowd, At home at the Hawthorne Inn” to explore the successful balance we maintain that allows us to both raise a family and welcome guests to the Hawthorne Inn.
