Captain Stannard Inn in Westbrook to celebrate re-grand opening on June 1

The Captain Stannard, a historic coastal Inn in Westbrook, CT, invites the community to its exciting re-grand opening event on June 1, 2025, from 4–6 p.m. The event celebrates the inn’s refreshed interiors and reimagined space, combining coastal elegance with nautical charm.

The Captain Stannard has a storied history. Built in 1872, the Captain Stannard House was originally home to Sea Captain Elbert Stannard. “This home has a deep connection to the sea, making its return to its nautical flair feel like a homecoming,” said Meri, one of the owners of The Captain Stannard. “We feel grateful to own a property that is so important to Westbrook’s town history. Along with the Westbrook Inn, our sister property, we look forward to welcoming the local community and travelers, just as the Captain Stannard Inn has done since 1902.”

Located just one block from the scenic Connecticut shoreline, the inn is renowned for its thoughtfully designed rooms, expansive outdoor spaces, and inviting communal areas, including board game nooks and cozy porches. Offering charming accommodations and a tranquil escape, The Captain Stannard welcomes overnight guests and is a CT shoreline favorite for intimate corporate retreats, meetings, and family reunions.

A staple in Westbrook’s community, the Captain Stannard House proudly offers a relaxing retreat for locals and travelers alike. Come explore the refreshed take on tradition and enjoy an evening that promises musical nostalgia and shoreline vibes.
