Mystic, Connecticut—a town long celebrated for its maritime legacy and storybook coastal charm—is entering a new chapter in its evolution as a luxury travel destination. On June 10, 2025, The Whaler’s Inn will unveil The Stanton House, a boutique property that introduces 10 artfully appointed suites designed for those who appreciate intimacy without compromise.
This expansion isn’t just about adding rooms. It’s about expanding the narrative. With panoramic views of the Mystic River and Bascule Bridge, bespoke interiors, and thoughtful service, The Stanton House embodies the kind of modern elegance that resonates with today’s sophisticated traveler.
A Contemporary Classic in the Heart of Mystic
Occupying a prime perch in downtown Mystic, The Stanton House blends maritime character with upscale design. Each of the 10 suites offers a different interpretation of New England refinement—whether that’s a private Riverview Penthouse with a fireplace and balcony, a Premier Guest Room with a full kitchen and lounge area, or a spacious Deluxe Suite perfect for group stays.
The interiors are a study in understated luxury. Expect classic lines softened by nautical motifs, rich wood tones, and contemporary comforts. The result? A space that feels deeply personal, whether you're there for a wedding weekend or a romantic escape.
Rates start at $640 per night for a Premier Guest Room and go up to $965 for a Deluxe Suite. Midweek pricing for Riverview Penthouses begins at $735.
A Venue with View—and Vision
Beyond the accommodations, The Stanton House also introduces a private event space that feels more like an heirloom library than a typical function room. Anchored by river views and dressed in dark woods and maritime décor, this main-floor gathering space accommodates up to 40 guests. It’s well-suited for everything from executive off-sites to engagement soirées.
The culinary program is overseen by James Beard Award-winning Chef David Standridge, whose menus promise to elevate every celebration. A dedicated events team ensures the experience matches the setting—a seamless extension of The Whaler’s Inn’s long-standing commitment to personalized service.
Anchored in Legacy, Aimed at What’s Next
“The Stanton House is a natural evolution of our commitment to exceptional hospitality. We are thrilled to offer our guests an unparalleled experience in downtown Mystic, where history and modern luxury seamlessly intertwine.”
Amanda Arling, President of The Whaler’s Inn
That balance is part of what makes Mystic’s recent renaissance so compelling. The town’s waterfront, brimming with maritime history, now plays host to world-class dining, cultural programming, and elevated stays that rival those in more metropolitan destinations. The Stanton House stands at the convergence of these trends—adding depth to Mystic’s offerings while staying true to its New England roots.
Mystic, Reimagined
The Stanton House may be new, but its presence affirms Mystic’s trajectory. As the town continues to attract a discerning clientele drawn to authenticity, craftsmanship, and culinary pedigree, properties like this help define a future that’s grounded in story yet expansive in ambition.
Reservations are now open for summer stays. For travelers seeking more than a place to sleep—a setting that invites memory-making and quiet indulgence—The Stanton House offers a new standard in coastal Connecticut hospitality.
