History
The Norwich Inn opened in 1929 as a Georgian Colonial Revival hotel on 42 acres in Norwich, Connecticut, with 75 rooms and a golf course. After a mid-century decline, including a spell as a city boardinghouse, the Edward J. Safdie Group bought it in 1983 and built a freestanding spa on the Sonoma Mission Inn model, plus villa condominiums. The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation acquired the property in 1994 and completed a major spa expansion in 2000, renaming it The Spa at Norwich Inn.
