What happened after Hotel Hell?

Gordon Ramsay visited the Curtis House Inn in Woodbury, Connecticut, for Hotel Hell season 2, episode 7, which aired 2014-09-01. The inn originated as the 1736 residence of Anthony Stoddard before the Curtiss family converted it into a roadside inn, with records showing the business operating under the Curtiss name by 1754, according to Historic Hotels of America. Ramsay's visit centered on updating the historic inn's rooms, food, and management under the ownership at the time. Historic Hotels of America reports that the Bates-Walsh family acquired and thoroughly renovated the property, relaunching it under new ownership in 2020 as the 1754 House, a name chosen to mark the business's original opening year, and that the property was inducted into Historic Hotels of America in 2021. The 1754 House's own website, 1754house.com, showed 2026 copyright, a live online ordering/reservation system, and posted hours (Thursday 4:00-9:00 pm, Friday-Sunday 11:30 am-9:00 pm, with Sunday brunch service) as of a 2026-09-09 check, indicating active, current operation at 506 Main St S, Woodbury, Connecticut, the address the inn now uses under its new name.
