Frommer's Exceptional

This tops the list of grand Newport inns. All units have at least one working fireplace, and most have whirlpool baths. A suite in the outlying Seaview Cottage has a bathroom that has to be seen: The tub features both standard and hand-held shower heads, eight spray nozzles, and a built-in TV and CD player! Antiques are generously deployed, including Eastlake and Tiffany originals and Victorian fancies that include (in room no. 11) an amusing "bird cage" shower from 1890. A favorite unit is the Garden Suite, a duplex with private garden and big double bathroom with radiant heat beneath the Peruvian tile floors. Coffee, juice, and the newspaper of your choice are delivered to your room even before the full breakfast.
