What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on Fountain Street in downtown Providence, the hotel places Downcity restaurants, creative studios, and the public library within easy reach.
The rooms
Custom wooden bunk beds or king mattresses are dressed in Matouk linens, paired with black subway-tiled rain showers.
At the table
Neptune Café serves morning pastries by the lobby, and the low-lit back lounge shakes cocktails under red chandeliers.
How it began
Built in 1912 as an Episcopal shelter and later a storied inn, the five-story brick structure was revived by ASH.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
