CONNECTICUT'S CONSTITUTION STATE
Delamar Hotel Collection proudly commemorates America's 250th Anniversary in the heart of Connecticut - the Constitution State. From Revolutionary War landmarks and literary homes to maritime museums and nationally significant art institutions, each Delamar Hotel in Connecticut offers a gateway to the people, places, and stories that shaped the United States. This milestone year invites guests to explore American history through curated luxury stays rooted in heritage, culture, and community.
Connecticut earned its nickname, "The Constitution State," for its foundational role in early American self-governance. From colonial charters to Revolutionary War resistance, Connecticut played a defining part in shaping the principles of democracy and independence. Each Delamar destination in Connecticut reflects a unique chapter of that history - from Greenwich's colonial roots to Mystic's maritime prominence, West Hartford's literary icons, Westport's Revolutionary spirit, and Southport's cultural preservation.
Delamar's story begins with the Mallory family, whose Connecticut roots trace back to 1816 and Mystic's maritime industry. For generations, the Mallory name has been synonymous with American shipbuilding, commerce, and seafaring enterprise. Mystic's shipyards contributed to the nation's economic expansion and global trade, helping define America as a maritime power. Today, that legacy continues through Delamar Hotel Collection and the family's ongoing stewardship of Connecticut hospitality - blending heritage with modern luxury.
The CT Art Trail connects guests to some of Connecticut's most significant museums dedicated to American art and cultural identity. From the nation's oldest public art museum to the first museum devoted solely to American art, this curated experience traces the evolution of American creativity - from colonial portraiture and Hudson River School landscapes to modern and contemporary works reflecting today's national dialogue.
As part of this experience, Delamar guests may receive a Connecticut Art Trail Passport, providing access and benefits at participating institutions across the state. Guests are encouraged to inquire with the Front Desk for availability and details.
