About Belden House & Mews
Belden House & Mews is a thoughtfully restored estate situated on North Street in the historic borough of Litchfield, Connecticut. Renowned for its architectural significance and design finesse, this hotel offers a unique pairing of Victorian architecture with mid-century modern elements. Originally part of an 1888 Colonial Revival mansion, the estate underwent a meticulous restoration spearheaded by Champalimaud Design, ensuring each room echoes both the intimate luxury of its era and the sleek sophistication of modern design. Guests have the choice of lodging in the opulent Belden House or the more contemporary Mews, dating back to 1959.
This location stands out with its eclectic charm and commitment to historical preservation melded with modern luxury. The Belden House's grand formal drawing room, enveloped in shades of pink and green, and its iconic acid-green bar are notable highlights, offering a chic space for gathering. Meanwhile, The Mews provides a minimalist modernist allure with bright rooms featuring four-poster beds and private terrace gardens. Complementing the elegant accommodations is the Belden Bathhouse, a private spa experience within the Mews, complete with saunas, a steam room, and a Japanese soaking tub. Nearby, a solar-heated pool and Lawn Club games such as croquet and boules add further recreational appeal.
The Restaurant at Belden House & Mews serves exquisite locally sourced cuisine by reservation. Culinary offerings are complemented by the historic Firehouse for events, a remarkable community hub dating back to 1891. This venue, rich in Litchfield history, once served the local fire brigade and now represents the estate's dedication to both heritage and innovation.
