GROTON, Mass..—Once America’s oldest inn, The Groton Inn is the newest addition to the Migis Hotel Group. The original hotel, dating from around 1678, was destroyed by fire in 2011.

History begins anew for The Groton Hotel

Rebuilt as a 60-room boutique hotel, it takes its cues from classic New England architecture and colonial history. Of course there’s a working fireplace—a roaring fire is a Migis signature that began with its Migis Lodge property on Maine’s Sebago Lake. Other period details include hand-hewn hickory floors and brass fixtures.

History yields to comfort in the guestrooms. Amenities include bathrobes, Wifi, a fitness center, landscaped courtyard with fireplace, and the Forge & Vine restaurant, slated to open this summer on the shared 8.5-acre property. In keeping with the hotel’s theme, the menu will offer seasonally inspired, contemporary New England fare.

The Groton Inn is open year round. Rates start at $169/night including a full buffet breakfast.
