Dozens of signatures adorned the 3,000-pound beam that was being moved from a gathering of hard-hatted VIPs, guests and those who contributed to the construction of Salem’s new landmark to the top of Tuscan Village’s Artisan Hotel. The Dec. 3 topping-off ceremony marked a significant milestone in the construction of a nearly 300,000-square-foot development project. It celebrated the safe completion of the building’s framing. A white beam with well wishes, accessorized by a small evergreen tree, was bolted in place where it remains as a reminder of the effort that went into the development of the property.

The Artisan Hotel is a Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel that will be fully serviced by Tuscan Kitchen. It will be five stories with plans to include a 165- room Marriott soft-brand hotel, 91 luxury apartments with private underground parking, 30,000 square feet of ground-level retail space, a 12,000-square-foot event and function facility, 10,000-square-foot Tuscan Brands restaurant with extensive outdoor dining, a rooftop restaurant, pool and sundeck.

Joe Faro, founder of Tuscan Brands, said, “I’m just so excited watching this come together. We’ve been working on this for three years so far and it’s scheduled to open the end of 2023. There is nothing else of this caliber in the region. It’s very exciting to contribute a downtown area to Salem, a place where people can gather with friends, eat, shop and enjoy community activities.”

The Artisan Hotel brings new charm to Tuscan Village

The view from The Rooftop bar at the new Artisan Hotel in Salem, N.H. says it all. From one of the comfortable couches in front of a gas fireplace, you can survey the growing Tuscan Village lifestyle complex, as it converts the former grounds of the Rockingham Park racetrack into an appealing destination for shopping and dining – and now getting away from it all. Like the rest of the boutique 163-room property, The Rooftop bar feels like a welcoming yet urbane escape – Italian pop art posters line the walls and every bartender knows how to make a spritz.

The Rooftop is just one of the inviting spots at the Artisan – guests enjoy rooms with free Wi-Fi, done in a soothing palette of neutrals, and everyone can stop in at Caffe Artisan for breakfast, or the newest Tuscan Kitchen location for dinner.
