The Inn at Stonington marks its 25th anniversary this year, commemorating a quarter century of providing exceptional hospitality and memorable experiences along the Connecticut waterfront since opening in 2001.
The 18-room luxury inn, nestled in the historic village of Stonington Borough, has evolved from a boutique accommodation into a cherished destination where generations of guests return to create lasting memories. The milestone represents not only longevity in the hospitality industry but also the establishment’s enduring commitment to personalized service and authentic New England charm.
“Reaching this 25-year milestone reflects the dedication of our entire team and the trust our guests have placed in us over the decades,” said Bill Griffin, owner of The Inn at Stonington. “We have witnessed countless special moments here, from intimate proposals on our waterfront balconies to multi-generational family gatherings, and each one reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of hospitality.”
The inn’s success stems from its unique combination of historic character and modern luxury. Each of the 18 individually decorated rooms features fine linens, private balconies with views of Fishers Island Sound, and amenities including gas fireplaces and oversized soaking tubs. The earned recognition of the Inn at Stonington, Connecticut’s Most Romantic Shoreline Inn, has made its distinction and its intimate atmosphere and stunning waterfront setting.
Throughout its history, the establishment has maintained strong connections with the local community while attracting visitors from across the country. The inn’s location in Stonington Borough places guests within walking distance of award-winning restaurants, galleries, and shops, while nearby attractions include Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, and Rhode Island beaches.
The property has garnered attention beyond the hospitality industry, serving as a filming location for the movie “Hope Springs” starring Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones. Media outlets including Yankee Magazine, Rhode Island Monthly, and Connecticut Magazine have featured the inn, highlighting its elegant accommodations and romantic ambiance.
Love on the Connecticut Shoreline has found a natural home at the inn, where couples frequently choose the venue for proposals, anniversaries, and intimate weddings. The property also serves as a sophisticated setting for executive retreats and small corporate meetings, offering a departure from traditional business venues.
Daily traditions including continental breakfast service and evening wine and cheese receptions foster connections among guests and create the welcoming atmosphere that defines the inn experience. These gatherings have become integral to the property’s identity, encouraging interaction while respecting the privacy and tranquility guests seek.
Inn at Stonington continues to blend historical preservation with contemporary comfort, maintaining the architectural integrity of its waterfront location while incorporating modern amenities and services. The property offers wellness activities, spa treatments, and concierge services designed to enhance each guest’s stay.
As the inn enters its next chapter, the focus remains on preserving the intimate scale and personalized attention that have distinguished it for 25 years. The commitment to excellence in hospitality, combined with the natural beauty of the Connecticut shoreline setting, positions the establishment to continue serving as a premier destination for travelers seeking an authentic New England experience.
