Whaler’s Inn

Luxury in the Heart of Downtown Mystic at The Whaler’s Inn

The Whaler’s Inn is a boutique hotel offering elevated comfort in the center of Mystic, Connecticut. With 47 luxurious guest rooms spread across five architecturally distinct buildings, the Inn pairs timeless coastal charm with modern design and thoughtful details throughout.

Guests are welcomed into a warm, inviting lobby with a gas fireplace and views of Mystic’s famous Bascule Drawbridge. It’s a peaceful space to relax, enjoy a drink, and watch the sun set over the Mystic River.

Accommodations are tailored to both couples and families. Newly renovated Queen and King rooms offer a serene, sophisticated retreat, while family-friendly junior suites feature custom-built bunk beds. For a more indulgent experience, Deluxe rooms include gas fireplaces and deep air-jet soaking tubs perfect for unwinding after a day out.

Just steps from the Inn’s front door, guests can explore Mystic’s best attractions without needing a car. The Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic Museum of Art, and the shops at Olde Mistick Village are all within walking distance. You’ll also find galleries, cafes, and the picturesque Mystic River Park just around the corner.

Dining at the Inn’s restaurant, The Shipwright’s Daughter, is a highlight of any stay. Led by James Beard Award-winning Chef David Standridge, the menu celebrates sustainable, locally sourced seafood—including underutilized species, wild kelp, and bycatch—prepared with creativity and care. The restaurant has become a destination of its own, drawing national attention to Mystic’s culinary scene.

From its walkable location and elegant rooms to award-winning dining and scenic riverfront views, The Whaler’s Inn offers a rich and refined experience in one of New England’s most charming coastal towns.
