The Highliner Hotel

We absolutely loved our stay at this boutique hotel in Gloucester, MA. We booked one of the lofted suites for our staycation, and it was the perfect space to celebrate my partner's birthday. The lofted suite was spacious and thoughtfully designed, which made the occasion feel even more special. Some of the standout perks included: nearby street parking, elevator access, and short walk to local shops. We especially appreciated the guestbook touch. The contactless check-in process was easy, and being able to text with the concierge team made everything very accessible. I've already recommended this hotel to several people and would absolutely love to return, especially during the summer season!!

Tucked in the heart of downtown Gloucester, the Highliner is within walking distance of all the local hotspots, restaurants, shops and Harbor walk. It's so easy to get around! Inside, the decor was a perfect blend of modern sophistication & old world charm. We stayed in a lofted Queen suite. Spotless and soundproof, cozy and comfortable, it's truly a serene space. Digital check-in, and checkout was a breeze. And the concierge, always just a text away, is by far the most cheerful person we have ever encountered! Love this place!

This boutique hotel was an absolute gem and made our Gloucester stay unforgettable. The location couldn’t be better—close to the harbor and beaches, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and coastal walks—yet it still felt peaceful and cozy when we wanted to unwind. The room was beautifully designed: clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated with coastal touches that felt charming without being overdone. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and little details like quality linens and great lighting made a big difference. Everything felt intentional and welcoming. If you’re looking for a stylish, relaxing place to stay in Gloucester that feels personal and warm (not cookie-cutter), this is it. We’ll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone planning a North Shore getaway.

We had a wonderful stay right on Main Street in Gloucester!! The location truly can’t be beat - everything is within walking distance. The hotel was clean and comfortable. Our room was cozy and quiet, with thoughtful touches that made our stay feel relaxing and easy!

5 Star Hotel in a great area in Gloucester, MA. Booking and checking in was seamless, quick & easy. Local to so many good restaurants and easy access to the Gloucester beaches. Showed up and was able to get right into room with our code. Hotel is decorated and finished very nicely with nice architecture and good vibes. Our room was really nice with the lofted area bedroom. Everything was very clean and a lot of nice and convenient amenities. Would highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in the Gloucester area. Would love to stay here again.
