While it’s always fun to jet off to exotic locations for vacations, there’s nothing as relaxing as a good old-fashioned staycation in your own state. If you’re in need of some rest and rejuvenation, book a stay at the majestic Castle Hill Inn in Newport. Sleeping here truly feels like a dream come to life.

The Castle Hill Inn dates all the way back to 1875.

It was commissioned by Alexander Agassiz, a marine biologist at Harvard University. Back then, he and his family used it as a summer home.
But during the great hurricane of 1938, the water levels rose so much that it cut off the peninsula from the mainland.

Mrs. Maximillian Agassiz, Alexander's daughter-in-law, became so frightened that she refused to return.
The inn then spent some time as a military base and a summer hotel, accommodating some famous faces like Grace Kelly.

The building was eventually winterized, and it's now a year-round retreat that sits right on the ocean.
The inn's enchanting elegance attracts visitors from all over New England.
