Delamar Southport Photography: David Lewis Taylor for UnnamedProject.com
Just over an hour from Manhattan, the historic village of Southport feels worlds away from the pace of the city. Tree-lined streets, classic New England architecture, and the nearby waters of Long Island Sound create a setting that encourages visitors to slow down and settle into a different rhythm. At the center of it all sits Delamar Southport, a boutique hotel that has quietly become one of Connecticut’s most enduring luxury retreats.
The hotel’s guest rooms and suites are residential in spirit, offering marble bathrooms, plush bedding, generous living spaces, and, in select accommodations, gas fireplaces that add a distinctly New England touch. The experience is intentionally intimate, allowing guests to feel less like visitors and more like temporary residents of Southport.
A stay here often revolves around a simple but satisfying routine: breakfast, a walk through the village, an afternoon treatment at the spa, dinner at Artisan, and an evening spent unwinding by the fire or exploring the nearby coastline.
Dining centers around Artisan Restaurant, the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant and tavern. Rather than relying on formality, Artisan succeeds through its relaxed sophistication. Seasonal menus draw inspiration from New England’s farms and coastline, highlighting fresh seafood, house-made pastas, locally sourced ingredients, and carefully selected wines. Guests can dine in the main dining room, gather in the tavern, or enjoy warmer months in the courtyard and garden. The result feels distinctly local while remaining polished enough for a celebratory evening.
What ultimately distinguishes Delamar Southport is not simply its amenities but its sense of place.

The hotel captures the appeal of coastal Connecticut without excess or pretension. It offers a quieter version of luxury—one rooted in comfort, thoughtful service, excellent dining, and the timeless charm of a historic seaside village.
For New Yorkers seeking a weekend away without the complications of air travel, Delamar Southport remains one of the Northeast’s most rewarding escapes. Delamar Southport.
