Family friendly lodging in Connecticut is ideal for children and parents

There’s a lot to take in when you travel with your family to Mystic, one of the country’s epicenters of maritime history. So stay at the Hilton Mystic, where you’ll find a comfortable headquarters to launch your explorations. The hotel’s 184 rooms and suites are spacious and the Hilton Serenity beds super-comfortable. Some suites have mini-fridges, but there’s also a casual restaurant, IRONS, on-site serving great takes on regional American fare. And there are fire pits for evening gatherings in the courtyard. Places to visit include the Mystic Aquarium and Olde Mistick Village shops across the street; the harbor with its working drawbridge; and, a bit farther down, Mystic Seaport. Check with the hotel for the latest rules and restrictions.

Bring the family to this scenic resort in the Litchfield Hills. Set on 30 acres of lawns and gardens, nestled between two shimmering lakes, you’ll find lots of room in 83 guest rooms, suites with fireplaces, townhouses, and a lakeside cottage with a screened-in porch and outdoor fire pit. All rooms have A/C, digital cable, flat screen TV, WIFI, phone and private bath. You’ll enjoy endless fun with our many on-site amenities, all included with your stay! Go kayaking and canoeing, picnic by the lake, play yard games, swim in our outdoor heated pool, check out our indoor game room, and so much more.
