Best Beach Hotels in Connecticut

Perched on the southern tip of Connecticut – about 35 miles north of New York City – this elegant hotel boasts beautiful views of Greenwich Harbor. And its appearance is just as rich as its period European-esque decor (complete with leather furniture and marble flooring). Accommodations are equally impressive, appointed with colorful accents, deep soaking tubs (with Bulgari bath amenities) and complimentary Wi-Fi access; recent visitors highlight the plush beds and relaxing bath facilities as extra touches that made their stays particularly comfortable. Keep in mind that while many of the rooms boast water views, some overlook the parking lot In addition to spa-like bathrooms, there's also an on-site spa and nail salon guests can take advantage of. When hunger sets in, head to L'escale: This in-house venue serves up fine French fare in a quaint Côte d'Azur-inspired setting, complete with 200-year-old terra cotta tiles and a wood-burning fireplace imported from the Provence region of southern France.

Recent visitors frequently describe the Delamar Southport as a hidden gem. Situated about 55 miles northeast of New York City in Southport, Connecticut, the Delamar only houses 44 guest rooms and suites. Each accommodation features Italian linens, antique marble floors in the bathroom and European toiletries, though some have views of the highway. Recent guests say the hotel's charm lends a romantic air to any stay, but are also quick to add that the spacious suites make it easy for multiple guests to enjoy. Whether you're at the Delamar with friends or a significant other, make sure you make time for a treatment in the Spa Suite. After a little bit of pampering, retreat to the Artisan Restaurant, Tavern & Garden for some New England-inspired eats that guests rave about.
