The Vanderbilt, Auberge Collection
Newport, Rhode Island, United States
We love this quintessentially New England property for its location and historic sense of place. It's the perfect complement to touring the nearby mansions and wandering along the cliff walk.
Once the opulent home of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, The Vanderbilt stands as a testament to Newport's gilded heritage and modern vibrance. Located in downtown Newport, this restored mansion offers guests a glimpse into the city's gilded past while providing all the amenities of a modern luxury hotel. Visitors enter a world of curated art, bespoke furnishings and subtle nods to its storied past — like a secret bar tucked into a corner of the Doris Duke-inspired parlor.
Travelers who appreciate art, history and luxury will find The Vanderbilt a distinctive destination in Newport's historic district. Reimagined guest rooms and suites featuring handcrafted details reflect the charm of the East Coast.
Rooms and suites
Each of the 33 rooms and suites is thoughtfully designed for comfort and style. The 300-square-foot Guild Rooms feature plush king beds and offer views across Newport. Unique details highlight the mansion's rich history.
Suites provide more space, ranging from the 400-square-foot Manor Suites with views of Historic Hill homes to the expansive 980-square-foot Elise Two-Bedroom Suites suitable for families or groups. The bi-level Mansion Loft Suites feature a king-sized bed and primary bathroom upstairs, with a sitting area and pull-out sofa downstairs. Each suite has its own character.
