The Best Hotel in Old Saybrook, New Haven, Mystic, and the Coast

Guest rooms at the cushy Saybrook Point Inn are done up in 18th-century style, with reproductions of British furnishings and Impressionist art; many have fireplaces, making them especially cozy on cool evenings. Three saltwater swimming pools overlook the inn's marina and the Connecticut River; a full-service spa offers Swedish-style aromatherapy, sea-clay facials, and a nice range of salon treatments; and the seasonally inspired Fresh Salt restaurant, which overlooks the river, serves cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients.
