Known for its delicious New England cuisine and beautiful coastal views, Newport’s iconic Castle Hill Inn has been named one of the country’s best boutique hotels by USA Today 10Best.
USA Today 10Best, which is owned by the same parent company as The Providence Journal, is a travel and lifestyle website. In each category, nominees are suggested by experts, then narrowed down by editors and voted on by readers to determine the final rankings.
Why Castle Hill Inn was voted the ninth best boutique hotel in the USA
Castle Hill has been a Newport institution since 1875 and its summer tradition of “drinks on the lawn” makes it one of the area’s most famous hotels.
What 10Best says about Castle Hill Inn: “Castle Hill Inn is a Relais & Châteaux property offering rooms, suites and cottages as well as on-site restaurants and bars, all located on 100 acres overlooking the ocean. During your stay, you can stroll the beach, go for a bike ride, watch a fishing demonstration or make s’mores around a beachside campfire.”
