What a capitol idea…… Welcome to the Hampton Inn and Suites East Hartford, a big city oasis located in the heart of the Connecticut River Valley. Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see, Hartford is the chief. Mark Twain could not have exclaimed it more aptly. Situated along the Connecticut River, which winds its way up from the Long Island Sound and Berkshire Mountains, over hills and rolling valleys, to the Massachusetts border, the Hampton Inn and Suites East Hartford combines big city sophistication, with the charm and splendor of the countryside. Just a 2 hour drive from both New York and Boston, and minutes from Bradley International Airport, you*ll find our hotel*s location provides activities for your off hours as rewarding as business meetings. Walk into this nation*s past through historic houses and renowned museums, or experience ever changing arts and entertainment and an array of restaurants serving tantalizing cuisine. Just a short walk or an easy drive away, downtown Hartford is at your disposal. Stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites East Hartford and enjoy the view from our side of the river while taking advantage of the hotel*s proximity to the City Center. Businesses such as Travelers, Aetna, The Hartford, Hartford Steam Boiler, CIGNA, Colt Firearms and United Technologies, educational institutions such as Wadsworth Atheneum and Trinity College, cultural attractions such as Harriet Beecher Stowe House, Mark Twain House, and the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch, or sporting events or concerts at the XL Center and Rentschler Field, home of UConn Huskies football, couldn*t be more convenient. We are passionate about taking care of you.
