Our History
A tribute to Connecticut’s gilded age,
the historic Boardman Mansion exudes glamour and grandeur.
European crystal chandeliers, Persian rugs, and hand-carved marble fireplaces, create a setting of gracious hospitality, further enhanced by luxurious amenities – just a short stroll from Goodspeed Opera House with its world-class musicals and dining by the river.

1860
Norman S. Boardman, a wealthy silversmith and manufacturer of pewter, built the expansive and ornate home in the Second Empire style at what was at the time known as 8 Norwich Avenue.
2004
Following its purchase, this New England Mansion underwent an extensive renovation that preserved the home’s magnificent architectural features, including ceiling medallions, moldings, original floors and staircases, while seamlessly integrating modern conveniences and luxurious bathrooms in order to transform the mansion into a one-of-a-kind historic inn experience.
2010
Boardman House opened its doors and since then has hosted thousands of guests from all around the world offering rooms with an environment focused on style, sophistication, and comfort.
