The Lawn will also host a rotating lineup of live music, sports games, comedy nights, seasonal events and other special gatherings, according to the hotel.

The space will also be available to rent for private events, including celebrations, corporate gatherings and social occasions.

"We are so excited to share this new addition of the hotel with not only our guests, but the local community as well," she said. "Salem is a city with incredible history and energy, and we wanted The Lawn to complement that by creating an outdoor destination that brings people together. From local bands and food trucks to lawn games, seasonal events, and our beer/wine bar, every detail was designed to create an experience that people will want to come back to again and again.

"Our team is incredibly grateful for the support we've received from the community throughout this project. We look forward to welcoming guests, partnering with local businesses and entertainers, and making The Lawn a place where great memories are made for years to come."

The Cove at Salem is located at 40 Bridge Street in Salem.
