The Hawthorne Inn Restaurant
Located only 20 minutes south of Hartford in Berlin, Connecticut, is more than just a community icon, as it is well known statewide and throughout New England.

Our award-winning restaurant, banquet and meeting facilities to accommodate groups of 8 to 350, customers of the Hawthorne Inn come back time and time again for the outstanding cuisine and unparalleled service.

Major Hartford area corporations such as Northeast Utilities, Aetna, and Comcast are all located within five miles of the hotel. Berlin is also home to Bayer Corporation and within a short distance to business parks in New Britain (home of Stanley Works), Newington, Meriden, Rocky Hill, Wethersfield, Cromwell, and Middletown. Given the inn's location between Hartford and New Haven, the Hawthorne Inn caters to many students and their families visiting nearby universities including Central Connecticut State University, Wesleyan University, Quinnipiac University and University of Hartford

In the greater Hartford area, Hawthorne Inn is also the perfect choice to accommodate an array of social gatherings from the intimate to the lavish: just right for family reunions, holiday parties, and weddings. And of course, the central location of the Inn is ideal for board retreats and business functions.

Adjacent to the Hawthorne Inn is a Days Inn which extend special rates to our guests if you have a function at the restaurant.

Connecticut Magazine’s 2008 Readers’ Choice Restaurant Awards have honored the Hawthorne Inn with the Award for the Best Prime Rib Statewide. Guests can also enjoy the extensive wine menu, which wonderfully compliments the vast array of beef, lamb, poultry, and seafood they serve. The lounge offers happy hour Monday-Friday 2:00-6:00pm featuring 1/2 price drink specials & appetizers.
