This historic building reopened with a bang in 2017, redone in modern New York chic by the same folks who run Norwalk's unique Hotel Zero Degrees. The Queen Anne terracotta facade exudes the building's 19th-century origins while the inside oozes 21st-century cool. Convenient to the downtown scene, the Goodwin gives you no reason to leave the premises with its own charming bar-restaurant Porrón and Piña, managed by chef Tyler Anderson.
