From its early days as a summer retreat to the grand Italianate building we see today, the hotel has remained a beloved landmark in Milford. Under Louis’ personal charge and later his daughter Marie’s leadership, the hotel became synonymous with excellence, attracting influential figures like the Delmonico brothers. Now, we proudly continue Louis Fauchère’s tradition of outstanding cuisine and distinguished innkeeping.
