Things To Do
Castle Hill
Perched majestically on a 40 acre, oceanfront peninsula in Newport, Rhode Island, Castle Hill Inn is rich with history and charm. The mansion that anchors the property was originally commissioned in 1875 by the renowned Harvard marine biologist and naturalist Alexander Agassiz, who designed it as his summer residence overlooking the sea. Over the decades, this storied residence witnessed dramatic events. From the sweeping waves of the Great Hurricane of 1938, which temporarily separated the peninsula from the mainland, to its service as a base for naval officers during World War II. In 2008, the Inn earned membership in the prestigious Relais & Châteaux association, recognizing its timeless elegance, unmistakable sense of place, and first class hospitality. Today, Castle Hill Inn combines its historic roots with refined comfort, offering guests sweeping ocean views, classic architecture, and a serene seaside retreat that feels both grand and welcoming.
