Historic mansion stays with lively nights

The Bell Inn & Tavern brings boutique comfort to a meticulously restored 19th-century Victorian mansion, with original floors and rich mahogany details grounding the stay in local history. Days start simply with a complimentary morning spread of fresh pastries and fruit in the common area. Come evening, the tavern and The Cellar set an easy rhythm for dinner, drinks, and a nightcap.

  • New England tavern dining

    Comfort-food favorites anchor the menu, from baked clams to grilled fish and steaks.

  • Speakeasy nights in The Cellar

    A basement bar with low lighting and historic details, built for a cozy nightcap.

  • Easy day trips and sightseeing

    Five minutes to downtown Salem, plus quick access to Boston and Logan Airport.

Amenities

  • On-property Paranormal Investigation with Ghost Hunters
  • Interactive Murder Mystery Dinner with three-course meal
  • Thursday Jazz Dinner with live performances
  • Saturday-night live music in the cellar
  • Parking options including municipal downtown lots
  • Second-floor balcony overlooking the courtyard

The Bell Inn and Tavern was an absolute dream! We came early and reached out to Heather to find out where we could keep our bags until check in. The rooms are spacious and so clean. The common areas are so quaint! We had dinner at the Tavern and the food was so good! Rob was a wonderful bartender and server. Next time I'm in town, I'd absolutely stay again! Thank you for having us!

The hotel is clean and very nice. The rooms were spectacular. The food at the restaurant is awesome. Sunday night comedy very fun. The only drawback is Sundays and Mondays are closed. They ran out of ice. The first night we were there. The Internet connection is absolutely horrific was unable to watch TV for very long without it freezing up due to loss of Internet other than that the Belle hotel was a great place to stay.

We had a beautifully large room at the Inn. There was a lovely king bed, couch, and lovely, clean bathroom with a large shower. I felt like I was home! The second floor had a community room with a min fridge stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks. But the best was the restaurant tucked away in the basement! THE BEST clam chowder and popover that I e ever had! I highly recommend this hotel when visiting the area.

The Bell Inn provides a fabulous stay for travelers. We stayed on the third floor and our room was huge, the size of a small studio apartment. It was beautifully decorated. The bathroom was very large and was lovely. We had been on the room 2 weeks and the bed was the most comfortable bed we slept in the entire trip. We went down to the tavern on the patio to have dinner and joined Music Bingo. We had a wonderful time (thanks, Maria!), won a round, and our Caesar salad was comped. It was a short drive to Salem and downtown Peabody was lovely. We’d definitely stay here again. One note for those with mobility issues: The third floor involves an elevator to the second floor and a flight of stairs to the third. Ask for the second floor.

The room was spacious, clean, and luxurious, all for a fair price. The check in process was simple and staff were able to accommodate our early check-in needs. We loved the "speakeasy" bar and décor of the inn. Loved that we were able to stay in a homey setting with friends and family. Would definitely recommend for families/groups that will be booking multiple rooms!
