Bar Chart: Upcoming 20 Days of New Haven Hotel Rates

Rates shown are nightly rates before taxes and do not necessarily reflect all New Haven, CT discounts available. The chart reflects the cheapest New Haven hotel for each day and each star rating category.

English Puritans established New Haven in 1638; the establishment became part of the Connecticut colony in 1664. New Haven then served as the co-capital of Connecticut from 1701 until 1873, until Hartford became the seat of government.

In 1718, British East India Company merchant Elihu Yale contributed a significant donation to the Collegiate School that had recently moved to the area. The institution's name was later changed to honor this generous donor, and Yale University became a central part of New Haven's economy. In the centuries since its establishment, Yale has produced graduates like Eli Whitney, founder of the cotton gin, and Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Many Yale graduates remain in New Haven for years after their time in college, and they continue to boost the area's economic and cultural scenes.

On your New Haven exploration, you'll find attractive, convenient places to stay within your travel budget.

When to Visit New Haven, Connecticut

For the most part, New Haven is like an extension of New York, and the two regions have similar weather patterns. Winters tend to be long, with heavy snowfall during some parts of the year. A late spring warms the area from late April through May. If you plan on visiting during the winter, try to arrive during the holiday season. As you walk down the streets of New Haven during the first snow, carolers and Christmas trim seem to be tucked into every street corner.

When New Haven starts to warm up, from June through August, the city becomes a great place to escape the pace of New York City and Boston and take in cultural experiences. You'll find concerts in the park and many outdoor activities to enjoy the temperate climate.

Many locals swear by fall as the best time to visit New Haven. In September and October, the trees change colors, as crisp reds, oranges, and browns dot the landscapes. Enjoy a fall festival, hayride, or visit to a pumpkin patch before winter weather sets in.

Before you visit New Haven, here's a piece of advice for you: Some weekends are packed with parents and alumni visiting Yale, guests which quickly book up hotels in the area. If you're planning to visit during events like the Yale-Harvard football game or a parents weekend, book your room in advance to make sure you get the best deal and space.

Could use more parking garages although the cost was reasonable. On-street parking downtown as everyone knows is a nightmare. The university could use more signage although the town works well.
