A Renovated Hawthorne Inn Is Ready to Reopen: Report

The Hawthorne Inn is scheduled to reopen Thursday evening, capping off months of renovations to the building at 2421 Berlin Turnpike.

Waheed Siddiqui and his partners bought the property in a foreclosure auction in March, according to The Record Journal. The partners reportedly spent about $1.6 million plus $200,000 to replace the roof and plumbing and heating systems, according to the report.

The inn closed last July and was put on the market for $1.9 million.

Siddiqui said they are searching for an operator of the restaurant, entertainment and bar.

A ribbon cutting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Thursday with the Midstate Chamber of Commerce and the Greater New Britain Chamber of Commerce attending, according to The Record-Journal story that can be found here.
