"This iconic mansion is within walking distance of some of Newport’s best sites and offers a surprising array of dining and recreation options within an elegant and intimate setting."

Set just a short stroll from Newport’s waterfront, the Vanderbilt is a destination unto itself. Consistently voted one of the top hotels in New England, this historic mansion offers all of the perks of a luxury boutique hotel with the unique charm and hospitality that come with staying in a former family home. Several popular local attractions including Bowen’s Wharf and the Newport Art Museum are within a ten-minute walk, while a ten-minute drive will bring you to The Breakers or Easton Beach.

With just 33 rooms and suites, there’s never a worry of crowds here. The decor is distinctly East Coast with nautical-inspired tones and sophisticated design choices. Entry-level guest rooms offer the cosy feel of staying in a friend’s seaside estate, with antique accent furniture and carefully curated artwork, but it’s worth upgrading to one of the individually designed suites for extra space and nicer views. If you’re planning to entertain guests, the Mansion Loft Suite is the way to go,...   Show more

If you’re planning to entertain guests, the Mansion Loft Suite is the way to go, with a bi-level layout that offers plenty of privacy.

Start your day with breakfast (or weekend brunch) at The Dining Room at The Vanderbilt, where navy blue walls and a crackling fireplace create a cosy atmosphere in which to enjoy your smokehouse bacon, buttermilk and currant scones, and blueberry pancakes served with Vermont butter. Lunch and dinner here are also a treat, with elevated takes on pub fare, a raw bar and shareable plates you can easily make a meal out of. Considered one of Newport’s most sparkling hidden gems, the RoofDeck (open seasonally) is the perfect place to watch the sunset. For a light meal, head to The Conservatory to enjoy a salad made with seasonal local produce, or try a bowl of Rhode Island clam chowder. Book a whiskey tasting in The Reserve Room, or head out to The Garden to sip a glass of rosé among the flowers.

Make time for a visit to The Spa at The Vanderbilt, which offers everything from a classic hot stone massage to full-day spa journeys. Swim a few laps in the serene indoor pool, or take advantage of a beautiful day with a swim in the outdoor pool. The hotel offers a small but nicely equipped gym which boasts Peloton bikes and computerised workout programmes as well as personal trainers and group classes including barre and boot camp. The Vanderbilt also offers a nice array of bespoke experiences, from demonstrations by local artists to mixology and tea leaf reading classes.
