History
The Madison Beach Hotel stands at 94 West Wharf Road on Long Island Sound in Madison, Connecticut, on a site with a hospitality history reaching back to the early 1900s, when a rooming house known as the 'Flower House' lodged shipbuilders and sailors; it was famously turned parallel to the shore in 1904 and became one of the oldest continuously run businesses on the Connecticut shoreline.
Ric and Dawn Duques acquired the property in 2006, but the aging hotel was too damaged to restore, so it was completely rebuilt as a new four-story, 65,000-square-foot building that opened in May 2012. The hotel joined Hilton's Curio Collection in 2015 and offers roughly 32-34 rooms with balconies over the Sound and The Wharf restaurant.
