With past lives as a home, a tavern, an office building and a rare book shop, The Merchant has now been restored as a luxurious boutique hotel in Salem MA with spacious rooms and high interior design in a private setting. Steeped in Salem's shipping port history, yet with a dash of whimsy, we're confident you'll love staying at this historic gem offering pampering amenities, a curated small plates breakfast, and chic, modern touches. The Merchant is set in the heart of Salem's central historic district, yet with relaxed ambiance. All of Salem's sights, sounds and tastes-sailing, witch trial sites, night life, restaurants, historical attractions-are all only a short stroll away from our boutique hotel in Salem MA.
