Cozy Connecticut Inns

There’s nothing quite like a getaway to a cozy Connecticut inn during the cold winter months. Escape the chilly air and hustle and bustle of everyday life by snuggling up at a place with your favorite book, hot cocoa and friends and family. Delight yourself in a home away from home, explore some of Connecticut’s most unique restaurants and uncover the quaint New England charm of these Connecticut towns. 

We’ve put together a list of five cozy inns that are sure to suit whatever experience you’re looking for: 

COMPLETE RELAXATION AND SPA INDLUGENCE

  • Recently named Forbes’ Hotel of the Day, the Mayflower Inn & Spa in Washington, CT is a 58 acre estate with a luminous 20,000 square foot Spa House that provides guests a serene haven for spa treatments and activities. Dine in style at the nearby Community Table, where you can enjoy the freshest locally-sourced ingredients, cooked seasonally and only with food gathered from the surrounding environment.

AN INSPIRING STAY TO SET YOUR IMAGINATION A FLURRY

  • Nestled in Connecticut’s Litchfield Hills, experience the unconventional and extraordinary at Winvian in Morris, CT. Winvian features 19 uniquely designed cottages– everything from a meticulously restored 1968 helicopter cottage, a cottage inspired by nautical lifestyle and much more.  While you’re there, indulge in rejuvenating and restorative spa treatments and enjoy fine, fresh dining options prepared by culinary craftsman chef Chris Eddy.

ENJOY AND EXPLORE OLD-WORLD CHARM OF A HISTORIC TOWN

  • Situated in historic Essex and nestled on the banks of the Connecticut River, the Griswold Inn exudes the charm of days gone by. Wander down the Essex Main Street, browsing the windows of quaint antique stores and boutiques. Then, dine in nearby Ivoryton at Pip’s Brasserie and indulge with a 5- or 7-course tasting menu featuring seasonal local ingredients complemented by wine from the more than 2,500-bottle award-winning wine cellar. After dinner, sit back, relax and enjoy a show at the Ivoryton Playhouse, a stage that once featured some of the greatest actors of all time, including Katharine Hepburn and Marlon Brando.
