The Roger Sherman Inn

The Roger Sherman Inn is a distinguished boutique property at 195 Oenoke Ridge in New Canaan, Connecticut, one of Fairfield County's most exclusive residential communities and consistently ranked among the wealthiest small towns in the United States. Named for Roger Sherman—a Connecticut statesman who was the only Founding Father to sign all four of America's founding documents—the inn occupies a gracious New England colonial building set back from the road in a quiet residential setting. Accommodations span Standard Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, and Suites, each furnished with a mix of antique pieces and contemporary comforts that reflect the inn's commitment to understated luxury in Fairfield County. The inn's restaurant has established itself as one of Fairfield County's most respected fine dining destinations, drawing a loyal clientele from New Canaan's affluent community and neighboring towns including Darien, Westport, and Greenwich. The kitchen produces contemporary American cuisine with European influences, emphasizing seasonal Connecticut ingredients and an extensive wine cellar with bottles from major Old World and New World regions. A garden terrace offers al fresco dining during warmer months in an enclosed private setting. New Canaan's charming downtown—populated with independent retailers, galleries, and additional restaurants—is a short drive from the inn. Metro-North's New Canaan branch line, which terminates in the town center, provides direct rail service to Grand Central Terminal in approximately 90 minutes, allowing car-free access to New York City. The Philip Johnson Glass House, one of the most significant works of 20th-century architecture in the United States, is located in New Canaan and accessible by car in under 10 minutes from the inn. The Roger Sherman Inn's quiet residential atmosphere makes it particularly appealing to guests seeking privacy, culinary excellence, and the character of a proper Fairfield County retreat.
