MYSTIC, CT. July 8, 2015 - Worldhotels, a leading global group for independent upscale hotels, has added a historic Connecticut estate to its prestigious collection of four and five-star properties throughout the world: The Inn at Mystic, one of New England's most picturesque hotels.

The 55-room resort was once a private estate, situated on 14 acres with sweeping views overlooking the Mystic Harbor and Fishers Island Sound, in the heart of Mystic, Conn. The main Inn is a colonial revival mansion built in 1904.

Recent renovations included the Harbour House restaurant and updated guest rooms, as well as other enhanced amenities throughout the property, while preserving the Inn's historic ambiance.

“This independent hotel is a delightful property with historic charm and first-class amenities,” said Tom Griffiths, vice president, Worldhotels-The Americas, "We're pleased to add it to our collection.”

The hotel is featured, along with Mystic Seaport, in the bestselling travel guide, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. Rooms are furnished with antiques and antique reproductions. Amenities include free wireless Internet, tennis courts, putting greens, kayaks, canoes and rowboats. Elegant weddings and other receptions for up to 200 people have been a specialty since 1981.

Nearby attractions include Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, and the Mashantucket Pequot Museum. Or guests can stroll tree-lined streets past sea captains' homes and antique shops, all while soaking in the charms of New England.

“This hotel changed ownership and management in 2014 and we've made updates while preserving the things we're famous for,” explained Tim Brown, hotel general manager. “Joining Worldhotels is one more way we're serving our guests and increasing our visibility.”

Worldhotels makes it easy for guests to book rooms with member hotels via telephone, online or through 450,000 travel agent terminals worldwide—as easily as with hotels and resorts affiliated with large franchise operations. With the group's new loyalty program, Worldhotels Peakpoints (worldhotels-peakpoints.com), guests can redeem points for hotel vouchers or collect miles for eligible stays thanks to an extensive list of 24 frequent flyer programs of the world's premier international carriers.

Other advantages include participation in advertising, promotions and public relations campaigns, as well as exposure at industry events and trade fairs attended by Worldhotels. Specific advertising materials include a page in the Worldhotels' hotel/resort directory, a listing on www.worldhotels.com, and inclusion in print ads to capture the atmosphere, amenities and unique essence of each property.

In addition, more than 30 sales and reservation offices staffed by 80 employees worldwide work on behalf of all Worldhotels' properties to create and sell special programs for business and leisure travelers.
