A Newport hotel, inn, or resort is a perfect choice for a romantic getaway

Newport, Rhode Island, is world-famous for its Gilded Age mansions, Colonial waterfront, tennis museum, and as the former home of the America's Cup in yacht racing. A compact and walkable city of old, Colonial buildings, it also is ideal for a romantic weekend getaway. The city is loaded with delightful bed and breakfast inns (B&Bs) that offer intimate luxuries of every kind (think: Jacuzzis). There are also waterfront resorts, hotels, inns, and motels of all descriptions. While in town, be sure to tour Ocean Drive, visit some mansions, and dine on seafood at some of the many restaurants on the wharf.
