There’s A Castle In Rhode Island That’s Also A Hotel And It’s A Jet-Setter’s Happy Place

There's something intriguing and exciting about the idea of sleeping in a castle, or at least being treated like royalty. But if you've ever stayed at the Castle Hill Inn in Newport, you know you can experience both there. This luxurious structure is now a hotel, and there's a reason so many New Englanders love to stay here.

Castle Hill Inn dates back to 1875, when it was built as a summer home for a prestigious Harvard University marine biologist.

Imagine reaching a point in life where this massive mansion was your summer residence.

This luxurious inn sits on 40-acre peninsula bordering the ocean...

... and by the way, it's the only hotel in the area that offers access to its own private beach.

Imagine how peaceful the sunset strolls are here.

This coastal paradise has the coziest rooms and suites, ranging from the themed beach house rooms to the regal Lighthouse Suite.

You can even rent the master bedroom in the castle or rent a tiny cottage that sits at the end of the private beach.

As you can see, the Dining Room here is magnificent.

Enjoy first class dining here or on The Lawn when the weather permits. When it's too cold to dine outdoors, you can enjoy the same simple menu inside.

The food here ranges from classic New England seafood dishes to hearty meat entrees and nightly specials.

The Dining Room only serves dinner, but you can enjoy lunch or Sunday brunch at The Lawn.

The accommodations are stocked with luxurious amenities that really will make you feel like royalty.

And if you need a little extra posh pampering, just book a treatment at the onsite spa.

It's really no wonder that the Castle Hill Inn is a popular place for weddings and private events.

This is the perfect place to bring someone special.
