Boutique hotels in Connecticut add extra luxury and elegance to your stay

Set along the shores of Long Island Sound in the charming village of Niantic, CT, the Inn at Harbor Hill Marina is an award-winning boutique inn where every detail invites you to slow down and breathe in the sea air. Choose from 16 uniquely decorated rooms and suites — most with sweeping water views, gas fireplaces, and large soaking tubs — and wake each morning to a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast. Spend your days kayaking the coast, strolling the Niantic Bay Boardwalk, or simply watching the tide roll in from your private balcony. Evenings bring wine, cheese, and good company in the dining room.

Vacationers seeking a sanctuary from a hectic world will fall in love with The Stanton House Inn, a luxurious boutique bed-and-breakfast inn with upscale rooms and suites, a seasonal outdoor pool and charming patio where, weather permitting, breakfast is served each morning. Some rooms have gas fireplaces, four-poster beds, Victorian furnishings – one even has a private balcony overlooking a secret garden. It’s a short stroll to Greenwich’s fine shops, gourmet restaurants and cultural attractions, and the area is rich with hiking and biking trails, beaches, theaters, museums, wineries, breweries and so much more. Manhattan is just a one-hour train ride or 90-minute car ride away, and you’ll love coming back to this inviting inn. Ask about packages for romantic getaways, couples massages and dessert-lovers.
