Newport, Rhode Island, is a study in contrasts. It's where America’s wealthiest elite once built elaborate “cottages” (read: some of the largest and most expensive mansions this country has ever known), but it’s also where sailors and college students go for beers at salty, weathered dive bars. The alchemy of Gilded Age grandeur and New England grit is what makes Newport so irresistible—and the hotels do not disappoint. Some lean into the city's tony history with elaborate, luxurious, old world interiors, while others skew towards a more modern, coastal New England aesthetic. Whether you’re visiting for regatta season, a thrilling match at Newport Polo, or a dose of oceanside respite, these are the best hotels to book next time you’re in Newport.
