"Housed in the historic Agassiz mansion, this Newport icon keeps things pristine and personal—no two rooms alike—and the duplex Turret Suite is a showstopper with its spiral stair to a soaking tub ringed by windows and panoramic harbor views. Fine dining is matched by casual hits at the Terrace Bar (the burger is infallible, the housemade peach barbecue sauce unforgettable), and overnight guests wake to a full gourmet breakfast; I’ll end the day in an Adirondack chair on The Lawn with a Dark and Stormy, waving to passing sailboats, before warming up by the inn’s fireplaces." - Jessica Chapel
