The Vanderbilt, Auberge Resorts Collection

We had a fantastic stay at The Vanderbilt. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, ensuring we felt welcome throughout our visit. The room was lovely, though a few minor maintenance details could be addressed. Dining at the restaurant was excellent, but a touch more attention to fine dining service standards would elevate the experience further. Overall, The Vanderbilt offers a luxurious and memorable stay in Newport, and we look forward to returning!

Morgan kicked off a wonderful start by her fantastic communication before we even got there! She was amazingly helpful! Then when we arrived Heather and Brooke made us feel so special and Heather even got us an early check in with great communication! I can't say enough about Said. His very warm greeting when we pulled in and his wonderful friendly manner as we were checking out was fantastic! Such excellent hospitality! Ty was so friendly and brought everything to the room for us and showed us around and was very thorough in making sure we were comfortably set - he ran all of the right pieces of luggage upstairs and helped us get settled. The room was so lovely and then Emma stopped by to bring us a special amenity and she was also so friendly! We loved it! My girl friends have never stayed at an Auberge Resort and they kept saying how incredible everything was - and they were right! The bed was so comfortable and housekeeping did such a lovely job with our turn down. We loved that we each had our own special water bottles by the bed! Throughout the visit, anytime I had a question for Heather, she was such a helpful happy person for all of our needs. At dinner, Tiffany was so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She patiently helped us pick out the perfect meal and accompanying drinks. She really knows her food and wines!! Thank you Tiffany for an excellent dinner experience! Morgan visited again to check in with us which was great so we could tell her how awesome her recommendation of the Breaker Lights was. The food was so delicious!!! Especially the octopus and gnocchi. The next morning check out was so easy and we were able to leave everything and enjoy a lovely morning in town before leaving. Again, Said spoiled us with his friendly manner, warming up the car, putting waters in cupholders, we felt so pampered! It was an excellent trip! Thank you!

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained. The staff are hospitable and go above and beyond to make you comfortable. Everybody is knowledgeable about the property history too, which was really fun to learn about! The food is outstanding and the location is perfect for exploring Newport.

The Vanderbilt is an elegant of snapshot of the Newport of yesterday. Stepping into the lobby mansion during it's heyday a years ago. Food and drink take center stage. For fine dining, The Gwynne serves contemporary twists on New England classics and utilizes Newport's freshest catch ----- the Spanish-style grilled octopus is not to be missed.

We traveled over Thanksgiving with our three kids - it was an exceptional experience. The staff were very attentive and lovely. The rooms were huge and comfortable. I loved the towels in the bathroom. Super cute boutique hotel - highly recommend.
