Burritt Hotel, Hotel building in New Britain, United States.
The Burritt Hotel is a six-story structure with a steel frame, brick walls, and concrete trim located at the corner of West Main and Washington Streets. The ground level features retail shops, while the upper floors have been converted into residential apartments with the original lobby details still intact.
The hotel was built in 1924 by the New York-based H.L. Stevens Company and commissioned by local business owners. The project was part of efforts to strengthen downtown commercial activity during that period.
The building displays Colonial Revival and Georgian Revival design features, with decorative railings and ornamental window surrounds that give the facade visual richness and character.
The building sits at a busy corner with easy access to nearby shops and public spaces. The area is walkable and parking is available throughout the downtown district.
The building features a U-shaped design with an angled left section that adapts to the uneven angle where downtown streets intersect. This uncommon layout was a practical solution to fit the building into the irregular corner lot.
