Inn of the Week  

Steamboat Inn
73 Steamboat Wharf
Mystic, CT 06355

You’re so close to the water, you feel as if you’re on board ship at this luxurious B&B beside the Mystic River .

All ten inn rooms have whirlpool baths and televisions hidden in cupboards or armoires. Six on the second floor contain fireplaced sitting areas facing the river.

They’re outfitted in lavish style: mounds of pillows and designer sheets on the queensize canopy or twin beds, loveseats or sofas and a plush armchair in front of the fireplace, and mantels and cabinet work that make these rooms look unusually homelike.

Four rooms on the ground floor are suite-size in proportion and come with double whirlpool tubs and wet bars with microwaves, but are on view to the constant stream of passersby on the wharf unless the blinds are drawn.

Guests have little reason to leave their rooms, but there’s a common room on the second floor. It has all the right magazines as well as glass tables for continental breakfast. Homemade breads and muffins are put out each morning, and tea and sherry in the evening.
