Praise
Built by a member of the Vanderbilt family, this meticulous resort recalls a time when Newport was the essential summer destination to see and be seen.
Conde Nast Traveler, January 2025Often historic hotels suffer from smallish rooms, but this is a problem the Vanderbilt does not have. They start out big and only get bigger; some suites come with kitchens, others span two floors.

Hotels Own Introduction
A Historic Mansion Reimagined
Once the downtown Newport residence of businessman and scion Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, this storied mansion has been transformed into a vibrant social destination. Inspired by Vanderbilt’s insatiable wanderlust and rebellious spirit, The Vanderbilt blends historic grandeur with a modern, playful edge.
A World of Eccentric Discoveries
From a secret bar hidden within a Doris Duke–inspired parlor to moody, specially commissioned still lifes scattered throughout the foyer and lounge, the hotel invites guests into a world of coastal curiosities and alluring eccentricities. Handcrafted architectural details, unique furnishings, and whimsical touches create a one-of-a-kind East Coast escape.
A Dining Scene of Surprises
The Vanderbilt’s culinary offerings unfold like a series of discoveries. Guests can slip into an intimate dining room serving savory local dishes or linger in the light-filled Conservatory for a more casual, sunlit experience. At every turn, the dining scene is alive with intrigue and charm.
The Spa at The Vanderbilt
An urban sanctuary within the mansion, the spa offers tailored treatments designed to relax and restore. Signature experiences include hot stone massages with stones smoothed by the Atlantic waves and body rituals infused with natural botanicals. Guests can extend their wellness journey in the sauna, steam showers, or the cozy Tranquility Room, complete with a fireplace—perfect for couples, friends, or mother-daughter retreats.
