"A three-story former beer hall that dates from 1910 and stands just off Bellevue Avenue, the main drag through Newport’s mansion district. Converted into a 12-room B&B, The Attwater has recently become part of the small, stylish New England Lark chain and undergone a radical renovation of its interior decor by designer Rachel Reider. TBoldly colorful yet classically New England. Reider juxtaposes ocean-evoking turquoise and navy blue in wavy patterns with crisp white on curtains, carpets, and throws and jazzes them up with eye-catching counterpoints of orange, lilac, apple green, strawberry, and black on fabrics patterned in smudgy boho-chic ikat, stylized chintz, and zebra stripes. Such gaudiness may, as the brochure proclaims, be “Newport Unconventional,” but the French doors painted white, lamp bases formed of neatly coiled balls of nautical rope, luxurious headboards, plump pillows, overstuffed poufs, and traditional slipper chairs also evoke old-money Newport luxe."

My daughter and I were only able to stay one night but I will definitely be back for a longer stay. The hotel was beautifully decorated and had a great modern and sleek, but laid-back feel. Beds were very comfortable and the hotel was spotless. The service was excellent and the breakfast was amazing. Good location....10-15 min walk into town. I wouldn't hesitate to come here again.

Wonderful staff! Great location! Walk to everything we needed, stores, restaurants, Cliff Walk, wharf, etc. Our room was fabulous! The small plates buffet breakfast had lots of options and super yummy food. Lots of food. We will definitely stay again if we come back to Newport!

A great boutique hotel close to many restaurants and sights. Our hosts Peter and Brandy were excellent! Great breakfast , rooms and easy parking. Newport has a rich history and beautiful scenery. The Attwater added to the positive vibe. We will definitely rebook when we return to the area.

Rooms are super comfy, lots of places to sit and socialize outside the room. Included a wonder breakfast. Host Peter was awesome and extremely knowledgeable on all things local. Will definitely stay here again. Will book direct next time, and not go through bookings.com though, bad experience with them. Peter more than made up for it.

The hostess, Brandi, was exceptionally welcoming and ensuring that we had our best visit imaginable. The Attwater is beautifully well decored. The room was great. The location is perfectly central to all that Newport offers. We are very pleased with our choosing of The Attwater! Thank you!

We had a great one night getaway at the Attwater. It was our first time and didn’t know what to expect. It’s a nicely decorated old New England home. Being off season, it was very quiet. We were offered early check in and upgraded so they could spread out the guests. We felt like we were the only ones there. The breakfast was simply delightful and our host, Peter, was great. I would definitely return. If I were to be nit picky, the only down side of you are staying multiple nights is that the shower is quite small. Otherwise, a beautiful room.

We can highly recommend the Lark Suite for spacious elegance. The Inn is also located in convenient walking distance to restaurants and attractions (Touro Synagogue, Redwood Library, etc.), which is great when dealing with high season traffic. The staff was also very pleasant and helpful.

We spent two nights at The Attwater and O would highly recommend. It is a small boutique hotel right in downtown with close walking to the wharves, mansions and many restaurant. The service and breakfasts are fantastic! I would stay here again.
