Inn at Stonington
Stonington, Connecticut, United States · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Eighteen rooms sit on the Stonington Borough waterfront looking at the harbor and Fishers Island Sound. Most have gas fireplaces and soaking tubs; eight Sea Side rooms catch the sunset. Owner Bill Griffin rebuilt here after the Harbor View Restaurant burned in 1997, working with architect Nina Cuccio-Peck so the new inn would read as part of the borough.

History
The Inn at Stonington stands on the Stonington Borough waterfront on the site of the Harbor View Restaurant, a French dining room that burned in 1997.
