The Merchant
This chic boutique hotel is within walking distance to most sights. Design enthusiasts will appreciate much about staying here, including the original 1784 interior woodwork and “floating” staircase by prolific local architect Samuel McIntire. Rooms are spacious yet cozy—each has a gas fireplace and heated bathroom floor. Guests can meet up for a daily BYO happy hour in the attractive common area. Rates start at $209 to sleep where George Washington slept, and like him in 1789, you’ll have to take the stairs (no elevator). The same hotel group opened the larger, equally chic The Hotel Salem in late 2017 (tel. 978/451-4950).
