salt house inn
> Talk about a labor of love. After falling
for Provincetown, Massachusetts, while
vacationing there, interior designer Kevin
O’Shea and partner David Bowd—COO for
André Balazs Properties—decided to not
only take up residence in the quaint seaside
destination at the tip of Cape Cod (in the
Martin House, one of the oldest homes in the
area), but to combine their expertise and buy—
and renovate—an inn.
Don’t expect a typical Victorian, overthe-top B&B at Salt House Inn. “There was
nothing in town that felt summery, beachy,
and like Cape Cod,” says O’Shea, a Starwood
and Morgans alum who started his namesake
firm in 2009, and now runs the day-to-day
operations at the inn, including cooking
breakfast for guests. “Before, you had this
fabulous mid-1800s shingle-sided building—
once cottages for salt mine workers—with
eighties-inspired interiors. It was a total
disconnect. We tried to put a sense of place
back into the building.”
That translates into 15 all-white

guestrooms; the only splash of color comes in
the form of “sunny and fresh” bright yellow
closets and in the artwork. Behind each bed
is a wall of curiosity, featuring pieces O’Shea
found in thrift shops and antique stores
throughout New England that reference Cape
Cod. “It’s what makes each room unique,” he
says. The standout is the Loft room. Once the
owner’s quarters, the spacious room features
an original wood-trestle pitched ceiling,
hardwood floors, and a freestanding tub.
“The building had good bones, but it had
been cobbled together over the years. The
floorplans didn’t make any sense, so we did
major reconfiguring to make the spaces
work the best we could,” explains O’Shea,
adding that the hotel boasts a breakfast room
that doubles as the reception, and newly
landscaped outdoor space including an
expansive sun deck, a lounge, and garden.
Lesson learned for the hotel veterans:
Renovating a 15-room hotel is as difficult as
one with 300. “There are just as many moving
parts,” O’Shea says.
