Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce recognizes Scott Sumner in Community Proud series

The Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce has recognized Scott Sumner through its Community Proud series, which is sponsored by Charter Oak Credit Union. Sumner serves as the Property General Manager of Delamar Mystic and La Plage Mystic.

Sumner brings nearly 30 years of luxury hospitality experience to his current role, having previously managed distinguished properties across the country, including Sound View Greenport, The Harbor Front Inn, and Castle Hill Inn. His career in the hospitality industry began at the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia, where he learned foundational standards of luxury guest service.

Delamar Mystic features 31 rooms and suites with views of the Mystic River alongside La Plage Mystic and an outdoor heated terrace. The waterfront boutique hotel has earned national recognition, including placements in Yankee Magazine, Travel + Leisure, and Condé Nast Traveler.

Sumner focuses his leadership on service excellence, human connection, and staff development while aiming to highlight Mystic as a premier destination. He oversees hotel and restaurant operations with a commitment to anticipating guest needs and fostering individual team member success.

Outside of his professional responsibilities, Sumner lives in Waterford with his wife and maintains personal ties to coastal New England. He enjoys sailing, golfing, and spending time with their two rabbits.
