Pause your repose to explore neighborhood traditions, local shops and cafés, and the world-class museums, galleries, performing arts, and events that make New Haven a rich cultural destination. 

Catch Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler at Yale Repertory Theatre through December 20, or enjoy a lineup of holiday performances at the Shubert through the new year.

Take a Chapel Street art walk, beginning at the hotel’s Aisling Gallery and continuing down the block to the Yale Center for British Art and Yale University Art Gallery—perfectly curated, conveniently close, and entirely free.

For a sense of place and touch of festivity, explore the New Haven Museum, browse local boutiques and bookstores at The Shops at Yale, and visit the Christmas Market at Trinity on the Green.
