Mayflower Inn and Spa, Auberge Resorts Collection

The Grace Mayflower is a picture perfect rural retreat set amongst acres of landscaped gardens and woodland in the idyllic town of Washington, Connecticut, ideally located within easy driving distance of New York City. Conducive to some serious relaxation, this is a beautiful destination spa, affording luxurious facilities in a stunning and peaceful setting, and makes for a perfect add-on to days spent pounding the pavements in the Big Apple.

A member of the renowned Relais & Châteaux association, The Grace Mayflower offers spoiling accommodations, with just 30 rooms and suites spread between four charming buildings, each with its own unique character. No comfort is overlooked, with feather-topped mattresses, plump oversized pillows, thick duvets and luxurious linens by Frette adorning the antique four poster beds. Well stocked mini-bars, oriental rugs, marble baths and gas fireplaces also feature throughout.

The standout feature is undoubtedly The Mayflower Spa, a haven of tranquility which offers a series of a la carte treatments throughout the week and a variety of restorative wellness packages to boot. The Spa House was designed to feel more like a residence than a hotel facility and it truly enhances the experience, feeling much more like a home from home. Seasonal outdoor activities can also be experienced as part of the spa program and everything can be completely personalised to ensure you leave feeling utterly relaxed.
