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

"An anti-Newport Newport hotel in the best way, this hip newcomer reopened in 2024 after a fire, swapping Gilded Age clichés for coastal cool with pastel color-blocking, rattan furniture, and local art for a homey, funky vibe. The location sits just beyond easy walking distance to downtown, but abundant free parking keeps everything convenient. The scene is laid-back and skewed younger, though travelers of all ages have been flocking to its restaurant, Little Clam, since its 2025 opening. It doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not, offering serious value where many rates soar in peak summer—plus it’s one of the few dog-friendly properties in town." - Todd Plummer
