“Fantastic hotel with excellent staff and beautiful rooms. Lovely moody bar and restaurant and great breakfast. They even let us use their Maybach to tool around the mansions. Can’t say enough good things about this hotel. The roof deck is also great.”
Small Gem, but needs some interior updating.

“The location of the hotel is convenient to shopping, restaurants, etc. The staff is amazing and the hotel is quaint. I would not recommend the first floor rooms since they are located in "shared amenity spaces" which allows for other guests to use the area making it loud while in your room. The rooms are dark despite large windows because of inadequate lighting with dark carpet and furniture.”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at this unique property! It had such historic charm and classic dark features that really made this mansion feel different than a modern hotel. We were impressed with the level of service throughout the hotel, and felt personally recognized in all interactions. It was truly five star service. The lofted suite was so special and far exceeded our expectations! It was a spacious one-of-a-kind room in design and layout. We dined at the Roof Deck and enjoyed views of the city and the Newport bridge, accompanied by outstanding and prompt service from the team. Breakfast in the Conservatory was over the top and the portions were very generous. Complimentary valet was a great perk while staying here, though we were just steps from the main shopping area. We can’t wait to return!”

“For a thousand dollar per night hotel room, this one was woefully inadequate. The lighting throughout and especially in the bathroom, was very poor. There was no bathroom counter or drawer space. One of the two ac units was not working (although, it really wasn't needed) and the TV was position such that it could not be seen from the bed.”
Very unique stay

“It was a beautiful day with a very attentive staff, and a very unique viewpoint of Newport, Rhode Island. Would 100% stay here again or at another property in the future. Was an exceptional stay.”

“Truly one of the best experiences we’ve had. Everything we could have asked for from a beautiful and space room, great staff. Lovely staff at the front desk to great food at both breakfast and dinner. Closely located to most of central Newport. Highly recommend and when we return we will definitely return! Thanks again for making our stay such a great experience!”

“The Vanderbilt has such a friendly and helpful group of people working there. Every single person we interacted with went out of their way to make us feel so welcome! The Vanderbilt itself has so many charming and inviting spaces to spend time with friends. And we love how it is near enough to everything so we didn't need to use our car at all! Literally everyone you meet there is friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and helps you to have the best time!”

“I had an amazing stay at the Vanderbilt. Everyone made me feel special. I was celebrating my birthday and received a surprise gift bag in my room on the day. Concierge paid attention to every detail. The bell services was very welcoming and helpful. Said was super.friendly and kind throughout my stay. Melissa was a gem along other team members who always had a smile. My suite was nice and large and had everything you would expect in a well-appointed hotel room. I hope to be back soon!”

“There were a few standout employees, including the doorman, the hostess/manager for the Mother's Day brunch and the housekeeping staff.
That said Srdan (I believe this was his name, a younger gentleman who was most likely southeastern European.) was the overall shining star of the show. We truly can't say enough nice things about his kindness and warmth.
The Vanderbilt team made this a weekend we likely will reflect on for many years to come.”

“We had a terrific time (our wedding anniversary) at The Vanderbilt in Newport RI. The hotel is lovely, and its location is very convenient to restaurants and attractions. Most of all, the service was absolutely top-notch and we found throughout our experience that the staff would take the initiative and give genuine thought to ways to enhance the guest experience. That extra thoughtfulness and effort makes a real difference. The team wins six stars out of five for thoughtfulness, kindness and professionalism.”
