Curwen House

The Curwen House is an Italianate Revival home built in 1854 by James B. Curwen and his brother, Captain Samuel R. Curwen. The brothers are descendants of the Corwin family, who played a key role in the trials of 1692.

James and Samuel made their fortune in foreign trade and the shipping business. The brothers and their wives each lived in half of the house. James was the first president of Union Hospital in Salem, a venture he pursued with fellow notable seafarer John Bertram.

The Curwen House is an adult-only property. Children and pets are not allowed in the Curwen house but can enjoy the Inn’s other two houses. Each of the 11 guest rooms features restored antiques and private baths. Three deluxe suites feature a queen bed, oversize whirlpool bath and working fireplace.

Guests can enjoy a complimentary glass of sherry while contemplating the beautiful trompe l’oeil in the house parlor or enjoy a warm afternoon in the courtyard.

Peabody House

The Peabody House was built as a single-family Dutch Colonial home in 1874 by John P. Peabody, a purveyor of ladies’ fine furnishings. His store was located just down the street in the Daniel Lowe & Co. building, which today houses Rockafellas, one of the city’s well-known food and drink establishments.

The house has four comfortable and spacious family suites with kitchenettes, as well as two romantic deluxe suites featuring king-size, four-poster beds.

All rooms feature modern bathrooms with luxury European-style walk-in showers, and most feature working fireplaces. With a comfortable and inviting parlor, the Peabody House is ideal for families, couples and small groups traveling together.

Explore Historic Salem

The Witch Trials of 1692, an unfortunate but important part of Salem’s past, are infamous, so much so that they often eclipse a much broader and significant role Salem played in Colonial America and the many modern-day attractions that call this city home.

Salem was once one of the busiest seaports in the New World. As a hub for foreign trade, the influences of Salem’s maritime past can be found in almost every aspect of the city from architecture to modern-day culture.

The U.S. Customs House played a significant role not only in the city’s maritime past but also as the employer of a young Nathaniel Hawthorne whose The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables are among America’s richest literary treasures.

Explore the region’s rich culture and history alongside exhibits from across the world at the Peabody Essex Museum, stroll amongst the brilliant architecture on Chestnut Street or experience the city’s many fine shops, eateries and craft breweries.

Dining

From traditional New England seafood to gourmet hot dogs, from hand-crafted pizza to intimate Italian dining, from lobster rolls to sushi and craft beer to cider, whether you’re looking to grab something on the go or enjoy fine dining before a night on the town, you’ll find it all and more in downtown Salem.
