An Elegant Afternoon in Stonington Borough
Beyond the refined comfort of your room, Stonington Borough unfolds like a beautifully preserved historic postcard.
This historic, walkable peninsula invites slow, deliberate exploration.
- Midday: Stroll Water Street
Step outside the inn and wander down Water Street, the borough’s historic main thoroughfare. The street is lined with beautifully restored 18th- and 19th-century buildings that house upscale boutiques, independent bookstores, and curated antique shops. It is the perfect place to find a rare piece of estate jewelry or a piece of local art. - Late Afternoon: The Walk to Point Lighthouse
Meander down to the southern tip of the peninsula to visit the Old Lighthouse Museum. Walk the manicured grounds and enjoy the panoramic views where the waters of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York meet. On your way back, stop by DuBois Beach to feel the soft sand and listen to the gentle surf. - Evening: Complementary Wine, Cheese, and Waterfront Sunsets
Return to the property just as the sun begins its descent. A signature hallmark of the experience is the complimentary evening wine and cheese reception. Pour a glass of vintage wine, sample artisanal local cheeses, and relax in the elegantly appointed parlor or out on the lakeside pier. Watch the sky turn brilliant shades of amber and violet, a perfect finale to a sophisticated New England day.
