The Merchant

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 a relaxed ambiance. All of Salem's sights, sounds, and tastes—sailing, witch trial sites, nightlife, restaurants, and historical attractions—are all only a short stroll away from our boutique hotel in Salem MA. In fact, our newly renovated Salem guest house is a short stroll from The Salem Witch Museum and the world-renowned Peabody Essex Museum and a slightly longer walk to Salem Harbor and the House of the Seven Gables. We look forward to welcoming you to The Merchant and helping you to explore the best of Salem.
