Tucked away in the rolling hills of Litchfield County, the Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Collection is one of New England’s most celebrated luxury country retreats. Just two hours from New York City, this Connecticut boutique hotelcaptures the timeless charm of the countryside while offering refined modern comforts. Surrounded by 58 acres of manicured gardens and tranquil woodlands, the property evokes a sense of nostalgia — where mornings begin with birdsong and afternoons drift into fireside relaxation.


Inside, guests are welcomed by inviting interiors that blend classic New England architecture with Auberge’s signature warmth and sophistication. Each room is individually styled with thoughtful design details — from plush bedding and fireplaces to soaking tubs overlooking the estate gardens. Whether you’re here to unwind in the award-winning Grace Mayflower Spa, savor farm-to-table cuisine at The Garden Room, or explore the charming town of Washington, this serene hideaway invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature.


Perfect for a wellness retreat, romantic weekend, or countryside escape, the Mayflower Inn delivers an elevated yet effortless experience that defines luxury in the Northeast.
