We Make It Easy
To Come Together.

At Hammetts, we believe in the importance of community and connection, which is reflected in our thoughtfully designed common areas including the Lobby, Second Floor Bridge, Rain’s Room, the uncovered Patio, and the heated, covered Quarter Deck. Each of these inviting guest-only spaces is accessible on a first-come, first-served basis, providing a welcoming environment for relaxation, socializing, and connection throughout your stay. For private corporate gatherings or meetings, we invite you to inquire about our Sullivan-Murray Room, an ideal setting for professional events.
