The Stanton House is now open at The Whaler’s Inn in Mystic, Connecticut. The Whaler’s Inn is our favorite place to stay when we visit Mystic. Its prime location across from the Bascule Bridge is right in the heart of the historic downtown. The location is central to all the fun on the water, shopping, and top restaurants. It is just minutes away from The Mystic Seaport Museum, Olde Mistick Village, and the Mystic Aquarium.
We just returned from a summer stay with the family, and absolutely loved the new building and suites. The Stanton House is right next to the main inn and offers a Riverview Penthouse, deluxe one and two bedroom suites (perfect for families), upscale amenities and services, and a new event space on the lower level called The Barber Room.
Here’s all the details of the deluxe two bedroom suite we stayed in with our family for our summer trip to Mystic…
The Stanton House
suite amenities
Our deluxe two bedroom suite is on the third floor with water views of the Mystic River and Bascule Bridge. The layout is perfect for families with two king bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchenette, and spacious living space with a fireplace. Also, there is a sleeper sofa in the living room if you need more than two beds. We love the coastal design and high ceilings of these suites. The private elevator access is a nice touch too. Every detail is so well done.
The two bedrooms have king-sized beds, flat screen televisions, smart tech, and garment steamers.
The bathrooms have luxury bath products, plush towels, and robes. Both bathrooms have double sinks. One bathroom has a large walk-in shower with a rain shower, and the other one has a air-jet tub and shower.
The kitchenette is fully stocked with complimentary beverages, tea, coffee, dishes, glassware, and utensils. Also, there is a snack and beverage station right outside your door that offers complimentary snacks, beverages, ice, and coffee. A perk for guests of The Stanton House.
Another perk of staying in The Stanton House includes the inn’s Rise & Dine Breakfast Delivery Service. This is only for guests of The Stanton House, and perfect for those mornings you want to relax and have a slower start. It is so nice to sip coffee, and have our breakfast delivered to our door.
Also, we loved taking advantage of all the board games on the bookcase, and had a fun game night together after dinner one of the nights of our stay.

the main inn
The main inn is a great place to enjoy during your stay. Sip a glass of wine outside in the Adirondack chairs, pick up some snacks for the kids, or enjoy the freshly baked cookies every afternoon.
The Shipwright’s Daughter
During your stay be sure to enjoy breakfast or dinner at the inn’s restaurant The Shipwright’s Daughter. 2024 James Beard Award Winning Chef David Standridge and his team offer up a fresh seasonal menu prioritizing sustainable practices. Every meal we have ever had here has been amazing! I highly recommend making a reservation for your stay.
We absolutely loved the new suites at The Stanton House. They are perfect for families and extended stays. You can book your stay at The Whaler’s Inn and check out their special packages for savings and add-ons to enhance your time in Mystic.
