Our favourite rooms

Owner-designer Kevin O’Shea’s take on New England chic is bright, white and breezy. Hung up on slatted headboards behind marshmallow-soft beds, beachcomber finds bring coastal character to minimalist walls, timber beams and caramel-hued hardwood floors. Standard Double rooms tend to be a bit snug for couples so if you’re after some extra space, opt for a Deluxe King room instead. With a vaulted ceiling, soft lighting and a freestanding bath at the foot of the bed, the Loft is for dyed-in-the-wool romantics, and comes with sea-salt soap and salts for a luxurious soak.

Packing tips

Pack exercise gear to work off the catch of the day, and swimsuits for see-and-be-seen pool parties.

Also

P-town may have earned its reputation as a haven for progressives, but that doesn’t mean it’s averse to a spot of old-school charm: while away an afternoon under the Inn’s pergola, or just ding the silver bell at the desk if you need help with anything.

Pet‐friendly

Address
Salt House Inn
6 Conwell Street
Provincetown
02657
United States

Salt House Inn is tucked away on a leafy residential street just a couple of blocks from buzzy Commercial Street in Provincetown.

Planes

A 10-minute drive away from the hotel, Provincetown Municipal Airport serves daily 20-minute flights to Boston Logan International, which can also be reached by car in three hours.

Automobiles

During high summer, negotiating the traffic to Cape Cod can be an intense experience. If you do drive however, it’s easy enough to find from Route 6. The hotel has a free car park, and there’s space for one car for each room.

Other

Seasonal high-speed ferries from Bay State Cruise and Boston Harbor Cruises take just 90 minutes to cross over from Boston; the port is a 10-minute walk away.

Worth getting out of bed for

Whizzing around on two wheels is de rigueur in Provincetown; call ahead so the hotel can arrange bicycles to use on arrival. If you’d rather keep your feet on firm ground, hit the Beech Forest Trail, a pleasant mile-long stroll looping around wetlands and warbler-harboring woods. Hop in a four-wheel drive for a tour of Cape Cod’s glorious coastline: Art’s Dune Tours have been doing what it says on the tin since 1946, though they’ve since upgraded their 1936 Ford Woody to more modern, beefy rides. Lifeguard-protected Herring Cove Beach is a long stretch of golden sands blessed with spectacular sunset views. A cornerstone of P-town’s creative district, the Schoolhouse Gallery showcases contemporary photography, paintings and prints by local artists, and dishes out sage advice on collecting and investing in the arts.

 

Local restaurants

Beach-themed the Canteen is the best spot in town for a hot buttery lobster roll; crispy cod tacos, moreish buffalo wings and clam chowder wink seductively from the blackboard menu. Open in the summer, Victor’s dishes up New England’s freshest catch in irresistible sliders, ravioli and risottos. Stop by the raw bar at happy hour for a couple of oysters or some wild-caught ahi tuna. Snag a table at romantic nook-in-the wall Front Street Restaurant, where the low ceilings, dimmed lighting and warm staff are as enticing as the seasonal tastebud-tingling Mediterranean fare.

Local cafés

Diminutive Pop + Dutch is a welcoming deli-cum-sandwich-shop; pop in for a hearty BLT, a tempting lunch box or a handful of condoms from the jar on the counter – a nod to the joint’s colourful past as a sex shop.

Local bars

Nightlife in Provincetown is one of rituals. Evenings start at 4pm at the Boatslip Beach Club’s legendary Tea Dance, an alfresco gathering of hedonistic, like-minded souls emphatically not to be confused with the Tea Party. Finish things off at Spiritus Pizza, where crowds converge at 1am for a late night slice-and-boogie.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this charming hotel in Cape Cod and unpacked their board shorts and rainbow flags, a full account of their coastal break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Salt House Inn in Provincetown…

Hidden away on a leafy side-street just a couple of blocks from the joyful crowds of Provincetown’s Commercial Street, Salt House Inn kick-started the Salt Hotel group – a quartet of elegant, effortlessly cool boltholes bearing testament to the Atlantic Coast’s enduring appeal. When he first opened the inn in 2013, owner Kevin O’Shea’s mission was to redefine the traditional B&B. This careful transformation of an 1850s salt-miners’ cottage into a laidback haven for P-town visitors has achieved just that, thanks to a liberal application of light-reflecting white, inviting beds and a quirky take on Shaker style. Don’t expect five-star facilities, a restaurant or freshly mixed cocktails – but do sit back on the terrace, kick off your shoes and make yourself at home.
