What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
One part boutique hotel, one part classic B&B, the Salt House Inn is set just close enough to Provincetown’s main drag to feel lively, and just far enough away for a bit of privacy.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Commercial Street's galleries and harbor are a five-minute stroll away. Back on residential Conwell Street, nights stay quiet.
The rooms
White shiplap walls hold salvaged maritime antiques. In the Loft, a clawfoot soaking tub sits at the foot of the bed.
At the table
Breakfast in the lounge brings house granola and fresh strawberry yogurt cake, with drinks poured throughout the day.
No two rooms are exactly alike here, aside from the shiplap paneling behind the head of each bed. White is the predominant hue, which makes each space feel crisp and bathed with natural light.
How it began
The 1852 cottages originally housed salt workers, and their name also honors co-founder David Bowd's English hometown.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
