Located in the heart of downtown, the Mystic River Inn is the premier boutique destination for romantic retreats, milestone anniversaries, and quiet weekends away for two.

A Private Coastal Retreat for Two

The foundation of any perfect romantic weekend is finding a place where you can truly slow down and unplug. At the Mystic River Inn, our intimate, seven-suite property provides a quiet, distraction-free environment tailored for couples. We have seamlessly blended the warmth of our historic 1809 architecture with premium, modern comforts to create a refined escape. Our suites include:

Intimate, Luxurious Comfort
Our seamless, contactless check-in process means your romantic weekend begins the moment you arrive. Bypass crowded hotel lobbies and front desks and head straight to your suite. We offer the privacy of a luxury vacation rental with the pristine standards of a boutique inn, giving you an entirely uninterrupted space to relax at your own pace.
Suites with a View
Wake up to tranquil water views and unparalleled morning light. For a couples trip, we highly recommend The River Side Suite for its beautiful vantage point over the water, or The Lighthouse Suite for a bright, airy, and incredibly relaxing atmosphere. Each room features premium comfort, keyless entry, and thoughtful nautical design.
Stress-Free Downtown Access
Nothing ruins a romantic evening like circling for parking. At the Mystic River Inn, your stay includes complimentary, dedicated on-site parking. Leave your car behind and take a romantic, hand-in-hand stroll into the heart of downtown Mystic.

Unlike standard hotel rooms, this suite is designed as a true sanctuary. The thoughtful layout distinguishes a spacious living lounge from the sleeping quarters, providing ample room to entertain or unwind. Sink into the plush seating of the lounge, which effortlessly converts into a premium full sleeper, allowing this intimate retreat to comfortably accommodate up to four guests.

Designed for flexibility and style, the Regatta Suite features a thoughtful open-flow layout that feels far more residential than a standard hotel room. The dedicated living lounge invites you to unwind after a day of exploration, featuring plush seating that easily converts into a premium sleeper—making this the perfect retreat for couples, small families, or friends looking to share the Mystic experience.

Whether you require mobility accommodations or simply prefer a suite with an open, airy flow, the Mariner’s Haven offers a seamless experience. The expansive living lounge provides generous room to maneuver and relax, featuring comfortable seating that converts into a premium sleeper—ensuring this retreat is as versatile as it is welcoming for couples, families, and friends.

Designed exclusively for two, this unit feels less like a hotel room and more like a private pied-à-terre. The street noise fades, replaced by a sense of airy calm. Large, historic windows flood the space with natural light, creating a warm, golden-hour glow that highlights the restored 1809 craftsmanship. It is the perfect hideaway for a romantic weekend or a peaceful solo retreat.

Like a lighthouse keeper’s sanctuary, Suite 202 is an intimate, elevated nest designed for solitude and romance. There is no excess here—just a beautifully curated bedroom where the scenery is the main attraction. The layout is intentionally cozy, ensuring that whether you are in bed or enjoying a glass of wine, the shimmering river and the iconic Bascule Bridge are always in your line of sight.

Much like the swift ships that once defined this region, The Schooner Suite feels open and free. The second-story elevation allows natural light to pour in, illuminating the restored 1809 architecture. Without the footprint of a heavy sitting area, the room feels dedicated entirely to rest and rejuvenation—an intimate cabin designed for deep sleep and easy mornings.

Take the helm in The Captain’s Suite, the undisputed crown jewel of the Mystic River Inn. Occupying the entire third floor, this loft-like sanctuary offers an experience of unmatched privacy and grandeur. With sweeping, direct views of the Mystic River and soaring vaulted ceilings, it is the ultimate retreat for those who wish to survey the harbor from the highest vantage point on Captain’s Row. Your experience begins on the second floor, where a private entrance opens into a dedicated landing space—perfect for leaving your shoes and cares behind. From here, ascend your private interior staircase to the third floor, a dramatic reveal that heightens the sense of exclusivity and anticipation. Upon reaching the top, you are greeted by a breathtaking, light-filled space defined by its architecture. Vaulted ceilings span both the bedroom and the spacious living lounge, creating an airy, open atmosphere rare in historic homes.
