this one occupies a prominent position on Newport’s waterfront, in a contemporary structure built in a throwback maritime-industrial style that makes it right at home on the harbor.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Harbor Walk runs right along the waterfront deck, and the historic pubs of Thames Street are just around the corner.
The rooms
Harbor-facing bedrooms take in the marina through deep picture windows, paired with rainfall showers and quiet nautical detailing.
The gym
The third-floor gym looks across downtown Newport, fitted with cardio machines, free weights, and a cable strength station.
Restaurant
Giusto
A double-sided bar straddles the patio through folding windows, where chef Kevin O'Donnell serves freestyle Italian dishes.
How it began
Albert Hammett founded a lumber and hardware wharf here in 1850, supplying Newport's shipping trade for half a century.
