Whether family ties bring a couple to Newport -- or they simply appreciate a refined setting by the sea -- Newport goes out of its way to deliver a memorable wedding + honeymoon experience.
Newport castles, mansions, gardens, farms, and country clubs are all lovely settings for a reception.
Extraordinary Accommodations:
You won't find very large hotels in this small-scale, walkable city. Preferred places to stay in Newport are historic inns and B&Bs on the harbor, on a private island, or in a National Historic Landmark. These are among best the city has to offer:
Castle Hill
Voted one of the top 10 romantic inns, this is elegance -- and fun -- at water's edge.
Cliffside Inn
Fireplaces, whirlpools, four-poster beds, and a mysterious past greet you here.
Francis Malbone House
A Colonial mansion, circa 1760, located in the heart of Newport's harbor front. King-size beds, fireplaces, and Jacuzzis. Recommended by Gourmet magazine.
Oceancliff Mansion Hotel
The kind of place where dreams come true. Ten acres of rolling lawns...unbroken ocean views...a grand ballroom that can accommodate up to 225 guests, and extraordinary food and service.
The Wynstone
Richly decorated rooms, evocative of Newport's own mansions, and complete with two-person Jacuzzis.
