The Vanderbilt

The Vanderbilt Hotel, an early 20th-century boutique hotel, perfectly blends American Gilded Age elegance and today's ultra-modern comfort. Stepping into the hotel, you are returned to an iconic period. This was when Newport was a famous summer destination for those who wanted to get noticed.

Overview

The former classical red-bricked Newport mansion was initially built by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, a scion of the Vanderbilt family, in 1909. The estate has been punctiliously restored to its authentic splendor.

This architectural marvel belongs to the Vanderbilt Auberge Resorts Collection. It offers luxury suites and rooms with breathtaking views of Newport Harbor.

The hotel also offers fine fireplaces and museum-quality artwork in the lobby, Christy's Gallery, and the Snooker Room. Moreover, the Grace Vanderbilt Grill, the hotel's signature restaurant, offers seasonally changing menus throughout the year featuring local ingredients.

Location

The property is in the heart of downtown Newport, Rhode Island, a walking distance of the waterfront. It is one of the most sought-after hotels on the east coast of the United States. With Newport's best restaurants, bars, historical attractions, and shopping just a step from the property, there's no better place to stay.
