House Or Rental
We recommend finding places to stay for the weekend on Airbnb or VRBO. You can't go wrong with many of the locations but we recommend staying on Thames Street as it's right downtown and close to all of the wedding weekend events. We know Newport inside and out so please feel free to send any of your options and we can help decide!
Hotel
There are no hotel blocks but if you prefer a hotel, we would recommend The Brenton, Marriott Downtown, Hotel Viking, or Newport Harbor Island Resort (on Goat Island, right next to the wedding venue).
Flight
Boston Logan Airport (BOS) is about a 1.5 hour drive from Newport. Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (PVD) is about a 35 min. drive from Newport. You can easily get a car rental from either of those airports or take an Uber/Lyft.
Train
We used to take the Kingston Amtrak from Boston/Philadelphia/NYC to get to Newport all the time. The closest stop to Newport is Kingston, RI. It's about a 30 min Uber/Lyft/Cab from there.
