The excellent-value Stanton House Inn provides genteel country-house accommodations in an early-1900s mansion in one of Greenwich's best neighborhoods. The 20 rooms have modern amenities like flat-screens and air-con without losing their early 20th-century feel. A pool and gardens add a homey touch, but no children under 12 allowed, to preserve the tranquility. Walking distance to restaurants.
