Agent Tips

  • Make sure to head up to the rooftop of The Abner—it’s the only one accessible in a fifty-mile radius with incredible views overlooking the town.
  • Try the hotel restaurant, The Courtroom, located within the original courtroom and with that history very much a part of the experience.
Accommodations

Small-town charm, history, and design.

Much like the town the hotel calls home, The Abner is intimate and alluring. The twenty cozy guest rooms exude plenty of small-town charm and history, featuring carefully chosen amenities and a unique sense of character and design. Bathroom amenities are sustainably sourced from Further and Palermo Body, and you can luxuriate in the plush African handcrafted robes from Tensira.
Restaurant + Bar

A new chapter for the historic courtroom.

The Courtroom marks a new chapter for the building's original main courtroom, serving modern tavern-style dishes with continental influences and locally sourced ingredients. The vibe is casual and flexible, and both a drink and a bite in the lounge, or a full dinner at the heart of the room, work equally well. Open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday.

The Parlor is the warm and inviting lounge at The Abner Hotel, dressed in rich red hues and a curated art collection from Bookstein Projects. It's an easy choice for pre-dinner cocktails and a delicious bite by the fireplace before heading through to The Courtroom for dinner. Up on the roof, Verdict makes the most of its position as Litchfield's only rooftop bar, with panoramic views over the countryside and expertly crafted cocktails to match. Whether winding down after a day of exploring or kicking off the evening, it's a hard place to leave.
