Only a two-hour drive from New York City, Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Collection is a luxury country retreat located in the idyllic town of Washington, Connecticut. Set on 58 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and woodlands, the property defines New England elegance and is renowned as one of the northeast’s most lauded luxury hideaways. Boasting 35 guest rooms, the hotel offers exceptional service and gracious attention to guest’s personalized needs.

Wellness amenities include The Retreat at Mayflower Inn, a 20,000 sq. ft. sanctuary aiming to purify and detoxify through holistic treatments, promote wellbeing, and leave guests feeling relaxed and renewed. The resort also boasts expansive gardens, a tennis court, miles of hiking trails, a standalone two-story private-event space, The Huntress boutique, and two dining venues including The Garden Room for New England-inspired fine dining and the Tap Room, for casual country fare.

In honor of the Inn’s centennial birthday in fall 2020, acclaimed New York-based interior designer Celerie Kemble oversaw a dramatic redesign encompassing guest rooms and suites, Mayflower’s signature restaurant, and the Inn’s historic main house, featuring a charming parlor.
