A view of Narragansett Bay and a lighthouse by the harbor, a luxurious Victorian bed & breakfast and getaway, a hotel in the hub of downtown Thames Street or a casual seaside stay can be yours for the asking in Newport. Find the vacation or the corporate retreat of your dreams in casual cosmopolitan Newport, more widely known as the "City by the Sea."
Downtown and Historic District
An inn experience capturing the charm and Victorian era of Newport is the Marshall Slocum Guest House on Memorial Boulevard. Located near Newport shops, restaurants, museums and a five-minute walk to harbor front attractions and 10 minutes from Cliff Walk, this inn offers a special mid-week 3 night minimum stay. On Wednesday night the inn offers a complementary lobster dinner, with homemade clam chowder from the Rhode Island Quahog Company. The Yankee Peddler Inn features modern amenities, despite the fact that it's one of the oldest in Newport. The Jailhouse Inn is just what it sounds like: a refurbished jailhouse, but not to worry. The service here is excellent and the complimentary breakfast buffet is a great way to start your day. The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina sits on the waterfront, offering guests stunning views in addition to comfortable rooms.
Ocean Drive and Middletown
The sparkling sea is what you will see, and plenty of it, with a lighthouse rocking on rolling waters from the Castle Hill Inn & Resort on Memorial Boulevard near Newport's famed Ocean Drive. Castle Hill is located on a little peninsula with the inn perched at the tip, the lighthouse at the far left, and the beach and harbor houses surrounding the inn and gardens. It is recognized as one of the best places to stay in the world.
A modern version of a four-column Newport mansion can be found at the Newport Gateway Hotel in nearby Middletown. You are only minutes to the Newport harbor front, and have the conveniences of data ports in telephones and a continental breakfast. The rooms are decorated in a Floridian resort-style, and are well-lit and spacious. The Sea View Inn is a small hotel that offers guests the luxury of privacy. Newport Beach is visible from the window. A mainstay in the hospitality industry, the nearby Howard Johnson Inn never disappoints.
Bellevue Avenue
The Hotel Viking offers the Gilded Age experience at its finest. Since 1926 this hotel is a legend in elegance, service and amenities. It is a renovated national landmark located on famous Bellevue Avenue. The Hydrangea House Inn offers luxurious accommodations; the rooms are decorated with antiques and lovely period furniture. The Brinley Victorian Inn is a seven room guest house that has an understandably attentive staff, while the breakfast at the Claddaugh House Inn is hearty and wholesome. You won't be far from the Cliff Walk and many shops and cafes here.
Whatever Newport accommodations you choose, you will take away the legendary Gilded Age elegance, Victorian charm and seaside ambiance found in the hotels and inns of Newport.
