Hotel Marcel New Haven, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

We stayed at the hotel for a week while visiting our daughter, who is studying nearby. We loved the modern style, cleanliness, simplicity, and comfort of our room, as well as the friendliness of the staff. We appreciated its commitment to sustainability and its history. We took a little tour of the hotel. We were on the eighth floor and had a great view of the harbor. We enjoyed some drinks in the evening made by an experienced bartender and some food. However, in the morning we bought takeaway coffee twice and the service was quite slow. On one occasion, I waited 20 minutes from ordering coffee to actually receiving it and making payment. It was slightly frustrating, considering there was only one person in front of me. We had the best October weather we could have asked for, so we appreciated the cooling system. However, it takes a long time to cool down, and you can only set it as low as 67°F. We were slightly too hot with the beautiful sun shining through our windows in the morning. Overall we had a good experience. We will definitely be back.

The attention to Marcel Breuer's original design is terrific...period (now) Modernism. Finishes, fabric and furniture choices are all thoughtful and suit the architecture and era. Staff were responsive and very help. Food and drink menus inspiring and delicious. Use of glass and ceramic vessels...little to no plastic ... great. We loved the fact there was a fridge and a kettle in the room AND that three layers of window glass completely silences the traffic on Interstate 91...no mean feat. And the Marcel reports that it is the first fossil-fuel free hotel in the country! Bravo!

We were looking for a midway point to stop between Vermont and Philadelphia, and this checked so many boxes. Ample charging stations for our EV. Right off the highway easy in and out. What we didn't expect was such an elegant and cool remodeling of a mid-century modern icon, a friendly staff, and an excellent breakfast using all locally sourced ingredients.

The location was excellent as it was close to the Yale campus where my daughter is attending. The room overlooking the Wharf was beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and the room including the bathroom was extremely well maintained and clean.

The room was clean and modern. There is a touchpad as you enter the room that controls the blinds, lights, and temperate of the room. Small details are what count sometimes, and having a bottle of liquid hand soap in the bathroom was a nice touch.
