Belden House & Mews

Set across a restored Colonial Revival mansion and adjacent mews, rooms and suites combine historic architectural details with warm contemporary interiors. Select accommodations include private balconies overlooking the Litchfield Hills, creating a residential-style retreat surrounded by the region’s rolling countryside.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the house’s restored original dining room, where historic details meet contemporary comfort. Enjoy afternoon tea in the historic house, or settle into Bar at Belden for a cocktail crafted with locally distilled spirits.

Recharge in the European-style Bathhouse with dry and wet saunas, followed by a cold plunge in the 225-gallon Japanese Ofuro tub. The fitness center includes Pilates, cardio, and strength-training equipment, while the seasonal pool and Lawn Club offer quieter moments outdoors.

Play croquet, boules, or badminton on the lawn, then explore Litchfield’s historic village on foot. Walk Topsmead State Forest in warmer months when butterfly-filled meadows come into bloom, hike White Memorial Conservation Center or Mount Tom State Park, or arrange falconry and vineyard visits.
