City Centre Location

A beautiful hotel situated in the centre of historical Salisbury. The Merchant’s House Hotel is a family run hotel offering 37 rooms with all the comforts including air conditioning.

Amongst our 37 rooms we have 6 superior rooms and 3 feature rooms including The Nelson Room where Nelson himself stayed. Its fabulous location right in the city centre makes it the perfect location for visiting Salisbury one of the most historical and culturally significant towns in the UK.

OUR HISTORY

The Merchant’s House Hotel in Salisbury, formerly New Sarum, occupies a 15th Century Merchant’s House with a wealth of history.

Salisbury, such a wonderful place to visit is probably most famous for its Cathedral, also known as Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is the site of Britain’s tallest spire, as well as the world’s oldest working clock. An entire day could be easily spent exploring it.

The Merchant’s House Hotel was once known as The Catherine Wheel which was a regular drinking haunt for Cavaliers. One of our rooms, The Nelson Room, is where on the 20th December 1800 Nelson himself stayed after being wined and dined and given the freedom of the city. This historic city has amazing heritage and there is so much to see whilst staying with us at The Merchant’s House Hotel.

Unlike many cathedral cities it’s also mostly flat and easy to explore on foot and as The Merchant’s House Hotel is located in the heart of town centre this is the perfect place to stay.
