The Attwater

The Attwater (Newport, Rhode Island) 9 Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"In Newport, where “summer” is a verb, where tennis is still played on grass, and where the very smell in the air is a sort of privileged New England potpourri of ocean breezes, butter-poached seafood and warm-from-the-dryer white laundry, something as down-to-earth as a tasteful little b&b like the Attwater can seem rather revolutionary. For one, they’ve got a penchant for colorful contemporary furnishings — and a quick look at the photos should make it clear that we don’t mean that in some snarky, euphemistic way. In fact the interior design could easily work in any number of the United States’ more design-conscious cities. At the same time, it’s all threaded with subtle nautical references, tinged with teals and navy blues that just look better this close to the Atlantic." - Tablet Hotels
