Salem, one of America's oldest cities, has an enduring maritime past. The Salem Inn, comprising The West House (c 1834) and The Curwen House (c 1854), and The Peabody House (c 1874) testifies to those days of glory. These three historic homes are just a short walk from an impressive array of activities including the National Park Maritime Historical Site, the Peabody Essex Museum, fine restaurants, and the waterfront. The Inn's individually decorated rooms and suites provide an ensemble of amenities: private bath, color television, telephone and queen or king-sized beds, as well as kitchenettes, fireplaces and Jacuzzi's. Antiques and tasteful furnishings grace all three buildings. The West House, a brick Federalist consisting of three attached townhouses, offers a continental breakfast for Inn guests, served in the original kitchens of the house. The Curwen House, a fine example of Italian Revival architecture, was lovingly restored while maintaining its period detail and historical integrity. Fabulous trompe l'oeil murals add a finishing touch. Both The West House and The Curwen House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Peabody House, circa 1874, is a newly restored Colonial, which features two very large, honeymoon suites, as well as comfortable and spacious two and three room family suites with kitchenettes. Both honeymoon suites enjoy large fireplaced bed rooms, and double whirlpool baths.
