Dockside marina house
It runs like an intimate yacht club, with private docks outside and open-air decks facing Narragansett Bay.
“Its waterfront location makes it a favorite for boaters, and the building truly lives in harmony with its setting on the harbor.”
What it’s good at
Listed
The open-air Pavilion and Wednesday wine tastings draw lively crowds along Narragansett Bay.

In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Thames Street shops sit right outside, and Bowen's Wharf is a short stroll along the waterfront.
The rooms
South-facing floor-to-ceiling windows draw in harbor breezes. Gas fireplaces and deep soaking tubs warm cooler coastal nights.
The Pavilion & Pavilion Bar
Wicker seating and a marble bar sit right on the marina deck, looking across berthed yachts toward Newport Bridge.
At the table
French doors at The Grill open toward harbor sunsets over local oysters. Inside, an illuminated oval bar curves through the lounge.
How it began
Campbell Soup heiress Dorrance Hamilton redeveloped the historic Christie's Landing site, creating Rhode Island's first LEED-certified hotel in 2010.
