Hotel Salem

Massachusetts


This swish new design hotel is nothing like the competition. The rooms are thoughtfully designed with plush beds, bold artwork and contemporary decor. New ‘micro rooms’ cater to more budget-minded travelers who are willing to give up some space. The common spaces include a delightful mid-century-modern lounge area and an inviting rooftop bar.
