The 50 Best Hotel Openings of 2025

Belden House & Mews, Litchfield, Connecticut

Keys: 31
Design: Champalimaud Design and PBDW Architects
Why we love it: The elegant restoration of an 1888 mansion and a 1959 modern wing marries historic spirit with midcentury cool. Across the interiors, many original details were uncovered and revived (including a pre-existing window bench), creating a thoughtfully crafted property that is deeply rooted in a sense of a place.
