Stay in our Hartford hotels and admire the decorative golden dome of the Connecticut State Capitol, which towers over the city center.

Connecticut's capital has long been a haven for art lovers. Founded in 1842, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is the oldest public art museum in the nation. The Wadsworth Atheneum houses iconic Norman Rockwell works, hand-crafted Frank Lloyd Wright furniture and African-American story quilts.
