INSPIRATION

Statement of Purpose

 

The House of Salt & Such is a specially cultivated destination for adventurous seekers of relaxation, food, art, and all things Cape Cod. The Hosts will bring together their passions for good food, drink, and entertainment by creating a warm and unforgettable experience that shows firsthand what excellence in modern hospitality can be.

 

The House experience will be customized to each guest and will change depending on the guests’ intentions, desires, and interests. Above all, it will be provocative by staying true to the fun-spirited community and culture of Provincetown, Massachusetts.

 

The intent of The House is to enrich the lives of the guests (and staff) by bringing a fresh idea to the market. A business that generates profit, creates sustainable modern hospitality, and supports artistic creation by offering a unique place to lodge, dine, and host events. In turn, this creates a successful inn which is both economically and environmentally sustainable.

 

Location

 

The House of Salt & Such has two potential locations, each a current inn in Provincetown:

178 Bradford Street

Built c. 1820; 8BD/9BA

$1,759,000

12 Center Street

Built c. 1850; 9BD/8BA

$1,749,000

 

Provincetown was chosen for the location of the business based on several factors. Primarily because it is the premier East Coast destination for LGBTQ travelers and secondarily, by the numerous coast-seeking travelers intrigued by art and food.

Tourism in Provincetown is a $200M a year industry and this figure is rising year-over-year. It is also the most popular destination on Cape Cod, attracting tourism with its abundance of cultural and nature-focused recreational activities.

 

Green tourism is a growing phenomenon in the industry (in Provincetown and beyond) and this aligns with the goals of The House to be a green-living, sustainable, and community-driven business.

 

The historical locale will help in the promotion and branding of the inn. The hosts have a passion for history and how it can apply to the modern guest. They will utilize their historical knowledge to help build destination packages in both peak and off-peak seasons. These packages will help tie The House strongly to the community. Annual celebrations include: Patriot’s Day Weekend, Year Rounders Festival, Moby-Dick Marathon, Run to the Top of the Pilgrim Monument, Twenty Summers at Hawthorne Barn, Provincetown Portuguese Festival and Blessing of the Fleet, The Great Provincetown Schooner Regatta, Annual Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival, and others.

 

In addition, The House will participate in the many Provincetown LGBTQ activites throughout the year, which will bolster promotion and branding for the inn. These include: Snowbound Leather Weekend, Out of Hibernation Ursamen, Miss Gay Mass USofA, Gays for Patsy Annual Stomp, Cabaret Fest, Bear Week in Provincetown, Annual White Party, and others.
