The company will own, operate, and manage the 36-room historic grand hotel. Over the next year, Migis Hotel Group looks forward to an extensive upgrade, which will include refreshing rooms, restaurants, and public spaces.
"We are thrilled to be the latest stewards of this oceanfront inn in Rockport, Massachusetts," said Peter Twachtman, chief operating officer of Migis Hotel Group.

Open year round, Emerson Inn by the Sea is an ideal destination spring, summer, fall and winter. Guests can easily access the town for a leisurely stroll or head to Gloucester for marine-life adventure snorkeling and hiking among the fall foliage or along the shore of Cape Ann.
