What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The Pell offers the best of both worlds’ location-wise: it’s Middletown setting places guests in the heart of Rhode Island, but far away enough from Newport’s seasonal summer crowds.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Middletown's quiet stretch of East Main Road keeps you ten minutes north of Newport's harbor and Easton's Beach.
The rooms
Light wood and woven wicker brighten the spaces. Selected rooms add kitchenettes or step out onto wide private balconies.
The gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Stationary bikes and rowing machines line the mirrored fitness room, open to guests around the clock.
Bar
The Helmway
A light blue paneled bar pours craft cocktails and regional beers. Marble tables hold flatbreads between woven armchairs.
How it began
A 1980s roadside Ramada Inn was overhauled in 2023, taking its new name from the landmark Claiborne Pell suspension bridge.
