At the end of Ocean Drive in Newport, this romantic resort hotel on a 40-acre estate occupies a seaside promontory. The Victorian manor and outbuildings, once the summer home of eminent Harvard marine biologist Alexander Agassiz, contain 33 guest quarters. Request the Bridge Room or the Mrs. Agassiz Room in the main house or one of the Beach Houses, which feature fireplaces, semiprivate decks and full kitchens. For special occasions, opt for the Turret Suite, which provides 320-degree views of Narragansett Bay, plus William Morris wallpaper, mahogany floors and a canopy bed. The Dining Room offers seafood-oriented menus. Other public areas include an outdoor terrace restaurant for more-casual fare, a Farmaesthetics spa suite and a private beach.
Newport has a vibrant arts community and is known for the world-renowned folk and jazz festivals held at historic Fort Adams.
