During the Gilded Age, America’s wealthiest families flocked to the City by the Sea and its surrounding areas; making the area their summertime playground. The meticulous preservation of more than a dozen of these homes gives us intimate access to the artistry, personality, and complex culture that went into these colossal time capsules. All that being said, simply having access to and enjoying the breathtaking grounds and cliffside vantage points of these homes is a treasure we cherish.
Downtown Newport and the wharves are located off Thames Street and are home to great food, bars, and tons of shopping! Don't miss out on walking through the charming streets and visiting the many unique shops and boutiques! Be sure to walk down the wharf where you will see beautiful views of the water and boats!
The Lawn at Castle Hill Inn is one of our favorite Newport experiences. Grab a seat on an Adirondack chair and your cocktail or snack of choice and enjoy one of the most amazing views and sunsets in Newport! No reservation required! The Lawn also has restaurant dining available and we would recommend a reservation for that.
