The Inn at Longshore

The Inn at Longshore is a wedding venue and waterfront inn in Westport, Connecticut. It hosts waterfront ceremonies and receptions, corporate retreats, and private celebrations, and welcomes overnight guests to fourteen rooms on the upper floors of the historic building. The property sits on the Longshore estate between Long Island Sound, the Saugatuck River, and the 18-hole Longshore Golf Course, about an hour from New York City. It holds a rating of 4.60.

The Inn's story reaches back to 1890, when the waterfront property was part of a grand private estate. In the early 20th century it belonged to millionaire Frederick E. Lewis, whose gatherings drew a wide circle of guests. In 1929 the estate became the Longshore Beach and Country Club, and the Town of Westport acquired Longshore in 1960. A renovation has reimagined the guest rooms, gathering spaces, and grounds, with the rooms designed by Ryann Swan Design and shaped by the character and architecture of the original building. Rooms look out over the water, the lawn, or the estate's old trees.

The Inn also holds a restaurant, La Plage, a waterfront seafood and oyster bar open to the town as well as to guests, serving dinner daily from four. La Plage partners with the CORR oyster-restoration effort for Long Island Sound, and the Inn works with neighbors and makers across Fairfield County. Guests can walk the estate's gardens, explore the town's boutiques, or spend the day on the Sound.

The Inn at Longshore has earned a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it, a reflection of its standing as a Westport destination for stays, dining, and celebrations along the Connecticut coast.
