Hotel Review: The Beauport Hotel is absolutely breathtaking and such a wonderful place to stay north of Boston, especially if you love the ocean. The ocean facing rooms are luxurious and beautiful. It is definitely expensive but its truly beautiful and such special place. Wedding Venue Review: We saw so many venues at the start of planning and the Beauport was the only one that made a lasting impression. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to host our wedding there. It was so stunning, beautiful and perfect. We were truly proud to invite our friends and family to such a breathtaking place. The food was absolutely to die for, the waitstaff and hotel staff were so sweet, and our coordinator Jacey was attentive in the months leading up to our event. We did have some critiques. The communication with our coordinator was not 100% on the day of our wedding. There were small things here and there, but the biggest one was that a row was meant to be reserved for our bridesmaids, groomsmen and flower girl, but it was not so they ended up having to stand up with us. We discussed this many times during planning, and emphasized the importance of only having our man of honor and our best man standing up with us. There was no apology for this pretty considerable error until I brought it up myself a week after the wedding. The other critique was that my parents were in city facing rooms and had a very hard time sleeping due to excessive noise from the street. Other people in the room block had much better rooms which we felt should have been given to our parents. Other than that, everything was amazing. It was truly so special and we will never ever forget it. We couldn't be more grateful to have had the most perfect sunny day on the water in Gloucester, a place that has been special to my heart since I was a kid. Thank you Beauport Hotel! We will never ever forget our wedding day. read more

Did not stay here, but had lunch and was rather disappointed. I am originally from Gloucester and lived just a stone's throw from there. Ordered the baked haddock casserole and was very unhappy with the meal. It was anything but a casserole. It was cooked in a hot metal oven pan with a sparse amount of crumbs and had a "weird" spice on it. It was overpriced too. Not someplace I would choose for a lunch date. read more

Ok, right off the Beauport Hotel is high end. Although I've o my eaten here and never spent the night... but heard it's really nice. Dining and bar service on the patio overlooking Gloucester Harbor is amazing. Today we went just to have lunch at the bar with Sheri the excellent bartender. The wife had what she claims is the best clam chowder in town. I had the lobster bisque that had so much lobster meat in it. Also, we each had the wonderful pop overs. Sheri brought the wife a great Birthday desert (chocolate cheese cake) Don't miss a visit here read more

Very good pricey. I got bagels cream cheese and daughter got croissant sandwich. Wait staff excellent and accommodating. Quick to remedy mistakes on our orders. Atmosphere cannot be beat. Right on water. We watched fishing boats go under draw bridge. We were there for weekday breakfast. They have $25 buffet that looked good but that's a lot right??? I'd go back and definitely sit outside. Beautiful there. read more

Quintessential New England coastal hotel with charm and comfort. Friendly vibe, nice accommodations, good bar but restaurant was only fair.

On an evening when we were on our way to a Miranda Russell concert at Gloucester Stage, four of us went to the 1606 Restaurant and Oyster Bar at the Beauport Hotel with a 5:00 PM reservation. We were delighted in every way. Our server, Katie, was quite attentive to the fact that we only had two hours for dining, and she made every minute count without ever having us feel rushed. We sat in a booth, elevated enough so that we could take advantage of the gorgeous view of the harbor and the famous "greased pole" that enhances the annual festival. The seafood tower that is the centerpiece of the restaurant is impressive in its freshness and variety. Although we did not partake of the tower options for diners, we are certain to try them on our inevitable return. We shared a bottle of Justin Cabernet, reasonably priced at $68. Our appetizer was the Crispy Calamari, and 1606 really understands how to fry! The breading was light and not at all oily, and the calamari were presented with some mildly hot peppers. Three of us had the Seared Sea Scallops, and our fourth guest had the 1606 Fish Fry. The scallops (4 very large fresh scallops/serving) were cooked to order and were accompanied with a variety of succulent sauces and potatoes. We each got the level of translucence we desired. The outlier with the Fish Fry, was delighted by the freshness of the fish and again the very light and crispy breading. Both the potato chips/fries and the cole slaw were excellent in this dish. The scallop entrée was $38, and the fish fry $32, and the meal was worth every penny. One of the marks of great service was that Katie never cleared a plate until the entire group had finished, never giving us an impression that the restaurant was trying to move us along or that our need to leave for the theatre was detracting from our pleasure. Yes, we had a leisurely time, and YES! YES! we will return soon with no possible distractions to a longer meal. read more

Just had a terrible experience with the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester. Made a reservation for 4 rooms today and needed to cancel them the same day. The reservation was for 1 month in the future. They had informed me that there would be a $35 charge for a cancelation of the reservation. When I cancelled, they charged me $35/room or $140 in total. What a terrible business practice, especially since I cancelled within 2 hours and the reservation is a month away. I expect much better customer service from a high end hotel. read more

This is an absolutely beautiful property, and the views are stunning. The staff were over the top friendly and helpful. Every where you sat there were terrific views. The bar was centrally located and quite large. The rooms were very clean and spacious. We definitely want to go back. read more

We were cruising the Massachusetts coast on our way to a wedding and someone said "let's go to Gloucester" for lobster! So we did. Locals directed our five-some to the Beauport and also suggested to make a Rez. We did and were lucky. It was packed, but we were able to sit on the patio on a beautiful sunny day. Lobster rolls, salads, croquettes, fish sandwiches, local beer. All just great. We even got bombarded by hungry seagulls. Well we didn't but the table next door did. Excellent service and good conversation with the local servers. Come see for yourself, but make a Rez! read more

What is there not to love about this place? The outdoor deck gives you a view of the sunset overlooking the ocean. Food is delicious and the seafood is the absolute freshest. The first time I went, the server was very skillful, and created an experience I have grown to expect at very high end restaurants. The second time I went, the server was barely out of high school or lacked experience. Anytime I need a sure venue for a great dinner, I will return here. I took one star off because the first time I went, there was cross contamination with the oysters and cilantro, which I am allergic to. One small spec of Cilantro was enough to immediately make me sick and I had to leave. I did feel the cilantro and removed it from my mouth but because it was on an oyster, I had already slurped and bit into it. I don't really feel like it's anyone's fault but it happened. I didn't tell anyone because I felt it would ruin the night but it was noticeable when I was not eating or drinking any longer because I was sick and debating whether I should go to a hospital or not. Yes, the server knew I was allergic. Oh well. read more

Beautiful hotel on waters edge. You over look the famous pole walk/ run in the gloucester inlet. Our food was amazing. The lobster bisque should have been called lob. Chunk bisque! The lobster salad sandwich was hot and the perfect amount of butter. The atmosphere was crowded but you never felt you were on top of another table and you could easily have a conversation! The entire hotel is beautiful and the next time we are there we will go exploring the facilities. read more

To start, the service was poor: felt mostly ignored by the waitress, even though I was there with two other people (e.g. she took coffee orders from my brother and SIL, but didn't take mine until I spoke up, when I asked for the fisherman's breakfast, she didn't ask how I wanted my eggs made...until I spoke up etc.). I asked what the "1606 fish cakes" were, and her response was somewhat flippant asking "do you know what fish croquettes are?". Uhm ok. Then the food was pretty bad. The fish cakes and salad were unpalattable. The eggs and brown bread were good, though. No, won't go back if possible. read more

Hotel is fabulous. Love the reataurant. This review is for the Jingle Bar event. I've gone for three years and have loved it. This year was bad. What happened? Seating was moved to ballroom- didn't work. Felt like I was at a wedding not an intimate holiday event like in past. Service was terrible. Charm was gone. Such a shame. Maybe go back to how it was and be sure to have proper staffing? Hate to see a good event go downhill. read more

I stayed here for two nights in a king ocean suite. The hotel was very clean and located directly on the beach! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and the restaurant was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Gloucester area! read more

A spectacular local gem in the coastal city of Gloucester on Cape Ann. My beloved and I spent Valentine's Day at this elegant hotel where our experience was fulfilled with an incredibly chic room coupled with a nautical vibe and a gorgeous balcony ocean front view. The Beauport Hotel Gloucester was the perfect getaway while offering the peak Cape Ann experience offering the most romantic ambiance, impeccable service & exquisite food. read more

Last night we were a group of 5 at the rooftop venue. The seagulls were vicious and hovering around. One took a slice of pizza out of my friends mouth while she was eating. The pizza was $27.00. There was no apology from staff, nor was she offered a drink or dessert. Last year the gulls were also all over the main deck restaurant. It does not make a very pleasant experience when you are overpaying for the service. The hotel and restaurant are beautiful, but please figure out a way to deter the gulls. Also, we put a cc down to hold the payment, but when the waiter came back with the bill, he charged the card, and there was no itemized receipt. The bill was going to be paid in cash, but the server did not even give us that option. read more

The entire hotel is charming! Love the boutique. It is very nicely curated with beautiful clothing, gifts and jewelry. The staff are warm and dote on you during your visit. The bar and restaurant are lovely and well-appointed. The food is beautifully presented and delicious! There are gluten-free options for your guests that request it. And, the views of Gloucester Harbor are mesmerizing! read more

My wife and I made the 3 hour drive to try a new venture for a quiet night or R&R. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was above average and served a delicious meal. Unfortunately our enjoyable evening ended there, We were resigned to call the front desk and 12:30 AM and request security to attempt to quiet the loud music, excessively loud chatter the frequent slamming of the room door over and over. Security arrived about 12:45 and despite their banging on the door and announcing their arrival for over 10 minutes the occupants finally opened the door and took the warning. The music softened and the chatter subsided but the frequent door slamming continued for over an hour more. We barely slept and left for our return trip home exhausted and extremely disappointed. The front desk discounted our stay from $480 to $380 for our inconvenience. I sincerely appreciate the offer but it was certainly far short of a reasonable offering. We were advised that they usually try to keep wedding guest away from other guest rooms but due to a high volume of guest we were unlucky to have such an inconsiderate group adjacent to our guest room. We were further advised that the Beauport host up to 10 weddings per weekend so with this knowledge we will not be returning and will find it unlikely to recommend the Beauport to family and friends. very unfortunate! read more

Beauport and the 1606 Restaurant is amazing! My new favorite hotel and restaurant on Cape Ann. My husband and I stayed overnight for my birthday. The hotel is so charming and peaceful The hotel and the 1606 Restaurant is very well run. We had dinner and then breakfast the following morning at the 1606. Delicious. Chloe was our waitress both times and she was phenomenal. At breakfast the concierge (an attractive man in a green sweater with a crew cut in his late 50s...sorry...never caught his name!) heard it was my birthday. He came over with a decadent box of Beauport chocolates to celebrate the occasion.) wow! The hotel and restaurant are charming (the bar and deck is stunning) but the people who work there make it special. HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

Very nice hotel, right down by the pier area off of Washington / Commercial Street. Plenty of parking. Very up scale hotel. Fine bar and restaurant. Wonderful staff. Exceptionally clean room. Large room too, with a king sized bed and a 60 inch TV. Large bathroom. Plenty of room. Nice scenery, and a view of some lighthouse from the deck of the restaurant. Highly recommended. 11OCT2022 read more

5 star for ambiance, the view, the decor . But 2 star for the food. Extremely overpriced, lacking in flavor, and just plain disappointing us . We Would def go back when the weather is nice to sit on their beautiful outside patio overlooking the water . But this time have a beer or two and a salad or burger. Mayeb those won't let us down like the overpriced and flavorless seafood we had. With all the being said it's still a place to definitely go to. It's absolutely beautiful!!! read more

JP 9/2/24 My husband and I recently had dinner at the Beauport restaurant. The scenery was beautiful on the deck over looking the ocean, but the food and service was disappointing. We first received popovers that were obviously over cooked and burnt on the outside. We sent them back and received another order, which were not overcooked. However, they were also not warm. The butter would not even melt when trying to spread. The same problem continued when we received our meals. Both my husbands and my dinner were both barely warm at best. It was difficult to find a waiter, even though the restaurant did not appear that busy. Overall, the experience was very disappointing and frustrating, not to mention pricey! it is obvious you're paying for the view and definitely not the food. We tried to speak to the restaurant manager before we left, but she could not be located. My husband called when we got home, and again, she cannot be located. Emily, the manager did finally return his call 45 minutes later. After hearing my husband's concerns, she politely thanked him, but seemed unfazed by his list of grievances with the service. She was unapologetic, and the conversation was unsatisfying, as was our entire experience with the Beauport restaurant. I felt compelled to write this review because this was not the first time that we've experienced subpar food from this establishment. It was a beautiful evening so we thought we would give it another try, but we were sadly greeted with more of the same mediocrity. Obviously, would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Have been coming to the Beauport since it opened and always have a good time. Unfortunately I will not be going or recommending it anymore. Was incredibly disappointed with the staff, specifically the manager Emily. There was a mix up and my party was seated in a private room with a very high minimum. We were not supposed to be in this private room in the first and did not request it. Emily was extremely condescending and out right rude as my grandparents in their 90s patiently waited for our table. After begrudgingly sitting in the private room and being told that we would not have to pay the fee but would have to tip on the fee, our server was below average. The appetizers were really great and so were some of the entrees. The pork Milanese was a deep fried hockey puck I do not recommend. Additionally, a member in my party sent his food back over an allergy and the food was not comped from the bill. Overall just disappointed from this experience read more

Wonderful service, delicious food, unparalleled view of Gloucester bay; you really can't go wrong especially if you sit outside and enjoy the expansive ocean view! Delicious fried whole belly clams and yummy sparkling wine. Friendly and helpful staff. read more

Great town. Beautiful hotel. Top notch service. Fun roof top pool and bar. Great live music on the nights we visited. If you like a nice hotel gym, this is not the place for you. Gym is smaller than a guest suite and equipment is dated. read more

The 1606 restaurant has beautiful views of the beach and outer Gloucester bay. You can see the fishing boats sail out to sea. The large sailboats for tourists are very picturesque too. We visited here for drinks and dinner. We did not stay at the hotel. We loved the complimentary valet parking. Thank you! The Room Service is strong and good too. The swordfish was outstanding. The small fingerling potatoes were cooked perfectly. We will return. read more

Shout out to a very thoughtful caring Kathy Cuddyer. I experienced some issues with gift cards and delivery services over the holidays. Kathy returned from a break and heard my phone calls and about my visit to Beauport. She immediately called to offer assistance and escalated the story to the manager and Owner. She was wonderful with communicating daily with me until the issued was resolved. Kudos to Kathy and the Beauport for their exceptional customer service to match their beautiful hotel and restaurant. Thank you! read more

A little underwhelming. Oysters and shrimp good. Lobster rolls good and fairly priced. Nothing really stood out though. The patio is a nice space, good to go and have drinks. Service was fair. Staggering of appetizers and meals did not occur. Would not be in a hurry to rush back. We had considered staying at the hotel, but after seeing it in person, I think the rooms are overpriced for location. Definitely a bustling area, not serene. Bell staff and valet staff very good. read more

I arranged a two day business meeting for my company at the Beauport in mid-December. Carina F. was absolutely fantastic as our event coordinator. A true professional in every way. Super responsive to any inquiries and accommodations, helpful with suggestions to make our two day event run seamlessly. Very accessible on-site as well. Additionally; we had a private dinner on-site and our server Chelsea was also fantastic. Very accommodating and also very helpful with suggestions for meal choices and wine pairings. This was our second company event at the Beauport. Thanks to these two hardworking professionals; the event was deemed a successful event. We will definitely plan another event at the Beauport in the future! read more

Had a fabulous lunch on Thursday for a 50th birthday. With lobster bisque, Mac N cheese, lump crab cake and salad of the day 'beet' was a little weak in flavor; waitress Chelsea was so professional as well as her various assistants....great job! read more

Nine of just returned from Beauport celebrating our tenth sibling's holiday. These annual events are very special to all of us. Previously we have celebrated at luxury rental homes all over New England. This occasion was special given six of the nine of us were celebrating milestone birthdays. We all live close to Boston and at our age, this time around we decided to stay local rather than having to drive long distances and plan meals we decided upon this luxury oceanfront hotel. And quite generously the pricing we were given was very reasonable. Now with this background we wanted to share with readers what a joyful time we all had. The hotel is spectacularly located, comfortable, and beautifully designed. Every member of the Beauport team was attentive and gracious with not an ounce of snideness. Our five Ocean front rooms were specious and beautifully appointed. We all loved sitting on the ocean front deck by the multiple fire pits. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent. The seating in the interior large lounge was inviting and allowed gathering of our group to play games or just enjoy a cocktail. And we were given a tour around Gloucester and provided with transportation to an outside restaurant. How blessed we are to have enjoyed this special time together. Thank you, team Beauport for making it so wonderful. read more

Outstanding service, Food was wonderfully put together and delicious. We ate there on Easter and used the Prix Fixe Menu. First courses we experienced were the Chilled English Pea Soup (Minted Peas, Jonah Crab, Crème Fraîche), Local Fluke Crudo (Charred Lemon, Sauce Verde, Radish, Pea Tendils), and Heirloom Carrot Salad (Hazelnuts, Seasoned Yogurt, Green Harissa, Bitter Greens). We shared and tasted each others choice and there was consensus about the uniqueness and how wonderful the food tasted. Our choices for main courses were Za'atar Rack of Lamb (Eggplant, Saffron Yogurt, Blistered Tomato, Chickpea Salad, Herbs) and Pan-Seared Halibut (Carrot Ginger Purée, Crispy Prosciutto, Mélange of Spring Vegetables, Spinach, Fregola, Butter Sauce) The Lamb was quite different from rack of lamb preparation I've had in the past. Good size portion and cooked perfectly and the taste was out of sight delicious. All of got to taste the halibut. Best ever preparation I've had of halibut and I've been fortunate have halibut a number of different ways. Dessert was also a big hit. two of us had the lemon cake a Lemon (Meringue, Lemon Curd, Compressed Strawberries, Rhubarb Compote, Basil) and two of us had the Pistachio Tart (Dark Chocolate Ganache, Pistachio Purée, Variations of Orange, Chocolate Bark, Pistachio Gelato). A great ending to a fine night of dining. read more
