Hotels! 🚿
Our fave hotels we have stayed at in Newport! My best rec: if you are going peak season in summer, pick a hotel that doubles as your parking spot to walk around town! 🌞
We loved staying here! Smallish rooms but so close to town and easy to get to everything from!
The Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina
The Marriott is a super easy pick for Newport, the rooms are MUCH nicer than your typical Marriott rooms!

This is our favorite little inn in Newport! The rooms are exactly as pictured, just a simple jumping off point that is perfect walking distance into town - we love it here it's definitely quaint but the price is perfect for us (and free breakfast is ...
The Yankee Peddler Inn
Restaurants! 🥗
Restaurants we keep going back to! Tip: Breakfast in Newport can be super expensive, your best bet is honestly just grab something from Stop & Shop and eat at your hotel, there's so much good food lunch and dinner food all over town!
You need a Newport Mansions ticket (from any house!) to dine here and it has some of the best food in all of Newport! Both inside and outside and on the grounds of The Elms mansion, good for any time of day but their brunch drinks are amazing!
The Carriage House
The best thing about the Red Parrot is that you can get a table pretty much anytime of time of day and they have a large menu (the nachos are my fave!) perfect for any size group (we love having lunch here!)
The Red Parrot Restaurant
Brick Alley is one of my fave lunch spots in Newport, the decor is vintage Americana and the menu is classic diner food, great for families or for anyone!
Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant
This is my boyfriend's fave, right in the middle of town and has great food for anyone - simple sports bar!
SpeakEasy Bar & Grill
This is the best spot for breakfast in Newport, it is across from a super busy spot that is always packed but if you get here before 10 am you won't have any issue getting a table and will get a great breakfast too! A hidden gem, very chill inside!
The Hungry Monkey
Our fave dinner spot in Newport! The best outdoor seating right on the wharf and a great simple menu!
The Black Pearl
A more upscale dinner option on the water! Fantastic food and has it's own parking lot which makes it super easy, probably my fave for a fancier Newport dinner!
The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar
This is the secret best lunch spot in Newport, almost always empty and you get to eat right in the tennis hall of fame courtyard area! Simple American menu, and a super quiet and beautiful spot!
La Forge Casino Restaurant

We love it here any time of year for a hearty dinner, they have tables that are against these big windows at the front that are so romantic! Big portions and the best Italian in Newport!
Sardella's Italian Restaurant
Stuff to Do! 🌊
I've done so many awesome things in Newport over the years and here are my fave things we do every single year!
Whether you are new to Newport or have come for years - the Newport classic car company tours are so amazing! I loved the Ocean Drive tour but it takes you all around town and their guides are so fun! Feel like a Vanderbilt riding around Newport!

The Elms is our fave Newport Mansion! There is also an amazing restaurant open seasonally called The Carriage House with some of the best food in Newport, you must show your mansion ticket to enter! You can also picnic on the lawn with blankets! 🤍
The Elms

The Breakers is definitely the most spectacular of the mansions but it is the only one with timed entry, so get your tickets early! The 3rd floor tour is new and the rooms are not all furnished but is still very cool! Gorgeous views all over!
The Breakers
My fave free activity in Newport, so easy to get on and off at will (then you can cut down to see the mansions on your walk too!)!
Newport RI Cliff Walk | Find Scenic Walking Tours Along the Coast
One of the most underrated tours in Newport! At the edge of Ocean Drive, this fort tour is the fave of my boyfriend and all the men in my family, you even go underground into the tunnels which is so spooky and fun!
Fort Adams State Park | Rhode Island State Parks

The most iconic Newport store this place screams Jackie Kennedy, they also have the most amazing displays for each season and their storefront is gorgeous! On Bowen's Wharf.
