Omni Providence Hotel
1 West Exchange Street

A prime downtown location and immediate proximity to the city’s most popular tourist attractions make the four-pearl Omni Providence Hotel an ideal location from which to base any trip to Providence. The hotel’s numerous on-site amenities — including two restaurants, a coffee shop, small indoor pool, event spaces, large fitness center, gift shop, and access to shopping — all combine to create a resort-style property that offers more in one space than any hotel in the city. While a bit generic in design, rooms are quiet, clean, and many offer excellent downtown views.

Hotel Viking
1 Bellevue Ave.

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.

The Ocean House
1 Bluff Ave

The Ocean House is a luxury resort, with the rates to match, located on a private white-sand beach in the sleepy coastal town of Watch Hill. The hotel offers a slew of amenities, including a full-service spa, large fitness center, indoor pool (that opens to the outdoors), and plenty of dining options, so there’s really no reason for guests to leave the hotel grounds -- which is good, because there’s not a lot in Watch Hill, aside from the cute little boutiques and shops on the main street.

Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina
49 America's Cup Avenue

Situated in the heart of downtown Newport, overlooking Bowen’s Wharf, The Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina is conveniently located to popular restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions. The three-pearl hotel features a private 60-slip marina with showers, fuel, and laundry, as well as 133 hotel rooms. Hotel rooms are spacious and come with modern amenities -- Keurig machines, flat-screen TVs, and Archive toiletries -- and an option of harbor, wharf, or city views. The restaurant, Saltwater, overlooks the wharf, and offers room service throughout the day. With an indoor, heated, saltwater pool and both indoor and outdoor event spaces, expect to see both families and business travelers, plus sailors sleeping in their docked boats at the marina and using hotel facilities. For those who prefer a more historical stay, consider Hotel Viking in the Historic District, but typically at a higher price.

Gilded
23 Brinley St

Located on a quiet side street in Newport, the 17-room Gilded is an eclectic boutique bed-and-breakfast. Each of the rooms at the upper-middle-range hotel is bedecked in an ornate, over-the-top decor that pays homage to the Gilded Age with lacquered surfaces, gold accents, and shag carpeting. All rooms feature modern amenities of Apple TVs, Lather toiletries, and an iPad pre-programmed with local attractions. Rates include curated small plates breakfast and home cooked snacks. The funky (and pricy) hotel caters mostly to couples and offers plenty of common areas including a small cafe, private courtyard, and a swanky billiards room. For those looking for a hotel vibe rather than a bed-and-breakfast, Hotel Viking has a pool, spa, two restaurants, and a lot of the same historic charm for around the same rates. 

Hotel Providence
139 Mathewson St, Westminster Street

Hotel Providence is an 80-room boutique hotel centrally located in Providence's Arts and Entertainment District. The interior decor is a mix of traditional New England and European styles, though some may find the rooms more old-fashioned than upscale. But the restaurant and bar have a much more contemporary and sexy feel -- and thus draw a hip, stylish crowd. While its location means plenty of things to do, it also can mean lots of room noise in the summer and on weekends, and there's no pool (you'll find one at the Providence Marriott Downtown). Still, it's a popular site for weddings, and guests traveling with their dogs will likely appreciate the pet-friendly rooms and the "pet concierge" station in the lobby.

Hampton Inn & Suites Providence Downtown
58 Weybosset St

It may be a chain hotel, but Hampton Inn & Suites Providence Downtown still has personality and character, thanks in part to its historic building. With a free daily breakfast, modern features (including flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and a fully equipped fitness center), and a central location in downtown Providence, you'll get a lot of bang for your buck here. Plus, suites come with microwaves, mini-fridges, and pull-out couches. There's plenty for both business travelers and families to like, but there's no pool -- unlike at the nearby Courtyard by Marriott.

Christopher Dodge House
11 W Park St

Christopher Dodge House offers a quaint, affordable bed-and-breakfast experience in Providence. The full daily breakfast is a nice perk, and the cute rooms are spacious and comfortable (though the bathrooms are on the small side). Details such as four-poster beds, fireplaces, and original tin ceilings from 1858 add historic charm.

Homewood Suites by Hilton Newport Middletown
348 W Main Rd

Located in Middletown, Homewood Suites by Hilton is a nice three-pearl choice located a 10-minute drive into downtown Newport and an eight-minute drive to the Naval Station. The hotel has plenty of features  -- an indoor pool, free breakfast, and a fitness center open early to late. All 92 suites are contemporary and spacious, featuring kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and free coffee. There isn’t much within walking distance of the hotel, but there is a shuttle which runs into downtown Newport (for a small fee), and there are plenty of on-site extras including a free evening social with snacks and drinks, a small putting green, and a back patio with modern grills. The Newport Bay Club is a nice alternative for those looking for a similar suite-style hotel, but in downtown Newport.  

Comfort Inn at Newport Beach
28 Aquidneck Ave

The 55-room Comfort Inn Middletown is a budget option located a 10-minute walk to the popular Easton’s Beach and about a nine-minute drive from downtown Newport, making it ideal for families and couples who value location over frills. The simple rooms are spacious and come with standard amenities like flatscreen TVs, mini-fridges, and coffee  --  but not much else. A free continental breakfast, use of the heated indoor pool, and parking are included in the room rate. The hotel has a small laundry area for an extra fee. Travelers looking for a few more amenities and a downtown Newport location might consider Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina, which has a pool, a restaurant, and stunning marina views -- but at a higher price.
