Where to Stay: The Brenton Hotel
The waterfront Brenton Hotel is within walking distance of downtown Newport, making it the perfect place to reside while in the City by the Sea. With well-appointed rooms, balconies overlooking the wharf and modern amenities, The Brenton is a veritable seaside haven fit for unwinding when you’re not devouring burgers at the bash. Their Living Room serves as a communal hub for cocktails, light bites and convivial chatter, but they also boast a roof on the top floor if prefer your drinks and snacks with a side of al fresco views. Mansion tours can be arranged, dogs are welcome and there’s a house car that will happily drop you at nearby locations should you require a lift. All in all: The Brenton is one of the best hotels in Newport for ease and stylish stays.
