Description: This unique boutique hotel in New Haven has set a new standard for the city. The Study offers 124 guest rooms that include 8 suites and the Presidential Suite, as well as a variety of levels of accommodation from doubles to deluxe kings. But that doesn’t really tell you about the soft leather reading chairs with ottomans in every room, as well as work spaces, feather beds, seersucker robes, glass showers, and flat-screen televisions. Many of the rooms have a separate “den” with stocked bookshelves. The lobby (or living room) features calming music and tons of reading material (including huge art books and international newspapers like Le Monde), and serves coffee, tea, and snacks. There is a fitness center, a number of meeting spaces, and a ballroom. The Penthouse Lounge has panoramic views of the Yale campus, and the Heirloom restaurant attached to the Study is a fantastic seasonally inspired restaurant. The thing you will study here is your own life, and how lucky you are to have reached the point where you can live in such inspired luxury.
