Inspired by the insatiable wanderlust and rebellious spirit of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, the historic downtown mansion once owned by the businessman and scion has been reinterpreted for the modern era as a lively and stylish social destination. From a secret bar tucked into a corner of the sumptuous Doris Duke-inspired parlor to the specially-commissioned series of mysterious and moody old world still lifes sprinkled throughout the foyer and lounge, the scene at The Vanderbilt is crackling with coastal curiosities and alluring eccentricities waiting to be discovered.

From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed—attentive, friendly, and effortlessly professional. My room was spacious and impeccably clean, with plush bedding, elegant decor, and all the thoughtful touches you’d expect from a luxury stay. Whether you’re visiting Newport for a romantic getaway, a special occasion, or simply a relaxing retreat, The Vanderbilt offers a truly memorable experience. It’s clear that every detail is curated with care. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

The most incredible stay I have ever had at any hotel. You truly feel very vip and the service is immaculate. You don’t get any better than the Vanderbilt. They refer to you by name always, warm accommodations, extremely LGBTQ+ friendly and make it incredibly well known. The ambiance is gorgeous. The food is also spectacular. My wife is vegan and they were very accommodating. They prepare your entire trip. There is no need to use a third party to plan when the staff truly go above and beyond to ensure your trip is so special and will text you throughout to ensure you’re getting everything you need. We will not be staying at any other hotel upon visiting Newport.

This was my second visit to Newport and second stay at The Vanderbilt. The hotel is beautiful and updated. The details from the candles burning to the soaps and lotions are what make it special. We loved our rooms, the dining room, breakfast, and the lounge areas. We also made use of the pool and fitness center on this trip. The hotel is very conveniently located to the wharf shopping area and lots of nice eateries. It's also a very short tide to the mansions. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

The staff make this lovely and special inn even more amazing! It is such a cozy space full of smaller cozy spots to relax and delicious food and drinks in the restaurant. It is located perfectly to walk around Newport. Whether with friends or traveling solo I love being at the Vanderbilt. The rooms are so beautiful! The bed so comfy! What a great trip!

From beginning to end the space and the staff were perfection! My girlfriend and I were treated like queens and even our pup was gifted a Georgian portrait of herself to take home as a souvenir. Such a cute touch! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to escape life for a bit.
