New Haven Hotel

Top choice in New Haven


This robust downtown hotel is both simply stylish and affordable. It's nice to see a private operator raising the bar. The hotel occupies a handsome mid-20th-century brick building with bright, modern common areas, while guest rooms are airy with large windows, clean lines, dark woods and sink-into-me bedding. Reasonable rates mean it's understandably popular. Book in advance.

The complimentary wine and cheese reception (5:30pm to 6:30pm Monday to Saturday) makes for a great welcome.
