DoveHill, a vertically integrated real estate investment firm, acquired the Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Collection in Washington, Conn. Other terms and conditions were not disclosed.
Located in Litchfield County, 90 minutes from New York City, Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Collection has long defined the gold standard of countryside luxury in the Northeast. The property has an intimate collection of guestrooms and cottages, manicured gardens and a calendar of experiential programming. DoveHill plans to build upon the hotel's heritage with targeted enhancements.
"Mayflower Inn & Spa is one of those truly irreplaceable properties," DoveHill Founder and CEO Jake Wurzak said in a statement. "It has an extraordinary sense of place, a legacy of excellence, and the kind of one-of-a-kind character we look for in every investment. We are deeply honored to steward this iconic estate and carry its storied tradition forward."
Auberge Collection will continue to manage Mayflower Inn & Spa. Auberge Collection expressed its enthusiasm for the collaboration, noting that its relationship with DoveHill reflects a shared commitment to creating exceptional and lasting guest experiences, according to the company.
"Mayflower Inn & Spa is precisely the kind of asset we are singularly focused on — ultra-luxury, irreplaceable, and rich with high ROI opportunities," added Charles Paloux, chief investment officer of DoveHill. "Ultra-luxury is one of the few segments consistently outperforming today, and as a drive-to destination just ninety minutes from New York City, the hotel is exceptionally well-positioned to capture the enduring post-COVID demand for nearby world-class escapes."
