The Wylie Inn and Conference Center at Endicott College  

Tucked in Beverly by the ocean, this beach hotel sits steps from Endicott College and close to Patch Beach and Mingo Beach. It’s a short drive to Lynch Park, Salem Common, the Salem Witch Museum and other Salem sights — ideal for conference-goers and families alike.

Ninety-one warmly decorated rooms feature pillowtop beds with premium bedding, flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations, plus private bathrooms with showers and complimentary toiletries. The property is family-friendly and accessible, with an elevator and a children’s playroom, and staff are available who speak English and Spanish.

Stay active in the 24-hour fitness center, challenge friends in the bowling club or ping-pong area, or relax with a book in the on-site library — there’s even a barbecue area for casual gatherings. Free self parking and common-area TVs keep things easy, while sea-breeze mornings remind you you’re by the ocean.

Built for events, the hotel offers a conference center and meeting rooms with 17,500 sq ft of flexible event space, wedding services and a 24-hour business center. Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet make it simple to stay connected during meetings.

Dine at Fountain Cafe or grab snacks and coffee from the on-site cafe and snack bar/deli; a bar/lounge is also available for drinks. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are offered daily for a fee to kick-start your day.
