Special Boston Marathon Hotel Information
Hawthorne Hotel, Salem
Saturday, April 14, 2012 - Thursday, April 19, 2012
A block of rooms for Boston Marathon runners and their friends and families have been set aside at Salem's distinguished Hawthorne Hotel. Single rooms are available for $109/night; double rooms at $129/night.
Rates do not include the 10.7% state and local occupancy tax. These rates are at least $30 less than standard published rates for this premium hotel.
To make a reservation, call 978-744-4080 or 1-800-SAY-STAY. Please mention group code BOST04 to receive the discounted rates. These rooms are also known as the "Boston Marathon Accommodations." All reservations must be received by March 16, 2012; however, please reserve early as there are only a fixed set of rooms available at this discounted rate.
Reservations can also be made online at www.HawthorneHotel.com. Please enter the promotion code Runner on the online form to book at the special rate.
This rate is good from Saturday night prior to the marathon until the Thursday of that week, so you can also visit Salem after the marathon and take in all that the "Witch City" has to offer, in particular, the world-renowned Peabody Essex Museum.
The bus transportation to the marathon start mentioned below will make a stop at the hotel if there is sufficient interest in this offer.
