"Gardiner House is a 21-room hotel located on Lees Wharf in Newport, Rhode Island. The hotel is situated next to the International Yacht Restoration School. It was opened late last year by proprietors Wirt Blaffer and Howard Cushing, who have a deep connection to the town. The interior design of Gardiner House is inspired by The Ledges, the 1860s family home of Howard Cushing. The hotel features a digitally reproduced mural from the original Cushing family home, which adds a unique historical and artistic touch to its design." - Lilah Ramzi
