"Newport, Rhode Island has plenty of classic seaside inns where “retro styling” is more likely to mean the 1870s, but it’s a 1970s vibe that’s on display at the Wayfinder. That’s just the aesthetics, of course — this is in every way a 21st-century boutique hotel, full of local art, contemporary design, and spaces that are designed for easy socializing. The rooms temper their maritime look with a bit of Scandinavian modernism, and the comforts are subtly luxe. Nomi Park is the all-day restaurant and hangout, the Poolshack the outdoor casual option, and the lobby café serves coffee by the Providence-based roasters Nitro." - Tablet Hotels
