Great Places for Workcations in Connecticut
These days, we’re merging work and play more than ever before. If you’re looking to get away without using all your vacation days, Connecticut is a great place for a “workcation.” At these hotels, you can work remotely from your room, designated lounge spaces, or even your own private study – all while knowing the family has plenty to see and do nearby. The best part? When the workday ends, you can join in the fun!

Take a Class While Traveling in Connecticut
These days tourism can be so much more than ticking a few places off your list. In fact, visitors to Connecticut often seek out lessons, classes and workshops to enhance their experience. No grades or tests, but you (or even your kids) may go home with a new skill, insight or even a handmade souvenir!

Eco-Friendly Traveling in Connecticut
Some people say a travel experience should make an impact on the traveler, not the place. In other words, if you are looking for travel that lets you make the most of your visit, without taking a toll on the environment, consider Connecticut. You can even arrive by public transportation and leave your car at home. Then, once you’re here, you can stay in an environmentally conscious hotel, go on eco-friendly adventures and more.

Accessible Connecticut - Welcoming to All Abilities
Connecticut is filled with things to discover, from natural places to explore to cultural treasures to enjoy. And it’s important to our state that as many as possible of our hotels, attractions and experiences are open to as many visitors as possible. That’s why we’re working to reduce barriers and create new experiences designed to welcome visitors with disabilities, their families and friends.

Rent a Boat to See the Best of Connecticut
One of Connecticut’s greatest attractions is its long-standing love affair with the water — from its history as one of the country’s first maritime ports to today’s shoreline and riverside marinas filled with fishing boats and pleasure craft. Even if you don’t have a yacht (or a dinghy) of your own, there are many places you can rent, hire or charter a boat to explore some of the best sights (and most amazing views) on the water.
