Attwater

Top choice in Newport


Newport's newest hotel has the bold attire of a midsummer beach party with turquoise, lime green and coral prints, ikat headboards and snazzily patterned geometric rugs. Picture windows and porches capture the summer light and rooms come furnished with thoughtful luxuries such as iPads, Apple TVs and beach bags.

There's no in-house restaurant, but the bistro serves French press coffee all day and the breakfast buffet is heaped with brioche au chocolat, corn muffins and ginger molasses cookies.
