We love preserving history here in Rhode Island, and there’s certainly a lot to preserve. We’re continually amazed by the renovations and renewal of downtown Providence, especially The Dean Hotel. This hip, modern space in a historic setting is absolutely fantastic, and it’s proof you don’t even have to leave Rhode Island to have a stellar vacation.

You'll find The Dean at 122 Fountain Street in Providence.

The hotel opened in 2014, but the history here goes back much farther. This building was constructed in 1912 as a shelter run by the Episcopal church.
Despite its beginnings, some rather salacious activity occurred here back in the day.

The space operated as several adult entertainment establishments, including a strip club called the Sportsman's Inn.
But these days, all you'll find here is peace, relaxation, great food and fantastic hospitality.
Management / TripAdvisor
Rooms range from single bunk beds meant for two to the spacious Guardian Suite, and they're all reasonably priced.
