A Timeless Seaside Retreat
Sophisticated yet luxuriously laid-back, Castle Hill Inn captures the grandeur of a bygone era while offering today’s discerning travelers impeccable service, thoughtful detail, and world-class cuisine in a serene coastal setting. A proud member of Relais & Châteaux, it remains one of the most sought-after escapes in Newport, Rhode Island.
An Idyllic Setting
Perched on a 40-acre peninsula with sweeping ocean views, Castle Hill Inn invites guests to slow down and savor life’s simple pleasures. Manicured lawns, blossoming gardens, and the rhythmic lull of the sea create an atmosphere of calm that feels worlds away, yet remains just minutes from Newport’s storied charm.
Historic Elegance, Modern Comfort
Originally a summer residence, this romantic estate has been thoughtfully reimagined as a year-round haven. Choose from cottages tucked along the private beach, or enjoy the view from The Lawn Terrace—each stay offering a unique way to experience the inn’s refined beauty.
A Culinary Destination
The inn’s celebrated dining program blends seasonal, locally sourced ingredients with exceptional technique to craft menus as inspiring as the setting. Paired with a wine list recognized by Wine Spectator among the best in the world, every meal becomes a hallmark of the Castle Hill experience.
