Rhode Island > State > Specialty Lodging > Historic Lodging
Rhode Island teems with history, from the northern Blackstone Valley, where the American Industrial Revolution was born in the textile mills there, to the shores of Newport, with its cobbled colonial streets and 19th-century Gilded Age mansions. Rhode Island historical lodging, including first class hotels, places visitors right at the places where history was made. These RI hotels and lodgings often are luxurious all by themselves, a wonderful place simply to relax and contemplate the passing of time.

Pondside inn has deep roots in warm hospitality, laid-back atmosphere

Discover the charm, hospitality and breathtaking water views that first drew people to the Weekapaug Inn in 1899. In its early days, the inn was known for its warm social atmosphere and carefree schedule of sporting, swimming and boating. That is still true today at the modern inn, where guests still gather around a wood-burning fireplace for dinner and conversation or compete in shuffleboard and bocce or take the kids exploring along the tideline. When the building was moved after the 1938 hurricane to its sheltered location overlooking Quonochontaug Pond, the stage was set for future fun vacations for generations, with boat tours on the pond, pedal boats off the private beach, luxuriously furnished rooms and farm-to-table dining.

Modern luxury inn by the sea has not forgotten its storied past

While embracing all the modern touches of today’s luxury resorts, the Watch Hill Inn does not forget its roots in the golden age of hospitality. The inn, which thrives in the heart of charming Watch Hill village on coastal Rhode Island, has been welcoming visitors for more than a century and a half, from Clark Gable and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. to Andrew Mellon and Henry Ford. They found what guests still discover at the inn, meticulously renovated in 2013: luxurious accommodations, breathtaking sea views and warm hospitality. Inn and nearby sister inn activities range from kayaking and croquet to saline pools, in-suite spa services, wine-tastings, cooking classes – and viewing that sunset from your expansive room’s private terrace.
