Newport Harbor Island Resort

11 Best Hotels in Newport, Rhode Island, for a New England Escape | Condé Nast Traveler

"Fresh off a multi-million dollar renovation in 2024, this Goat Island retreat feels private and markedly more family-friendly than many in town; with 257 rooms, big-hotel perks include a great spa, shuttle service into downtown, and Newport’s only outdoor saltwater pool set against truly epic views of the harbor, Newport Bridge, and the Rose Island Lighthouse. A robust weddings-and-conferences scene can make it feel busy, but as the only hotel on the island there’s ample room to spread out, making this spacious, sun-drenched option Newport’s most versatile stay on the water." - Todd Plummer
