On a quiet corner of Bellevue Avenue, the Hotel Viking is a four-pearl option in Newport. The 208 rooms are divided into two categories: newer Newport Rooms and older Historic Rooms. All rooms feature flat-screen TVs, Starbucks coffee, and Lather toiletries, but the Historic Rooms are more limited on extra amenities. With 12 meeting rooms and spacious common areas, the hotel tends to host weddings and events. A daily resort fee covers use of the indoor pool and modern fitness center, as well as Wi-Fi. There are three restaurants and bars on-premise at the Hotel Viking -- a rooftop bar (the highest point in Newport, with stunning views), lobby bar, and upscale restaurant. As an alternative, the Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina is a lovely option overlooking the marina at a consistently lower price.

Castle Hill Inn was once the private summer home of a prominent marine biologist. Today, the 40-acre luxury property includes the original New England-style shingled mansion, along with private guest cottages, a beach, and a small marina. There are several different room types at Castle Hill, but all are outfitted with luxurious finishes such as hardwood floors and marble bathrooms. The hotel’s signature restaurant, the Castle Hill Dining Room, is highly regarded for its delectable seasonal menus and extensive wine list. Castle Hill is far from downtown Newport, and guests will pay a premium to stay here, but nightly rates do include free Wi-Fi, parking, breakfast, and afternoon tea. Travelers looking for a similar level of luxury closer to downtown should check out The Chanler at Cliff Walk, which often has comparable nightly rates.
