The Cliffside Inn
2 Seaview Ave, Newport, USA
16 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Quiet
One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
In Newport, Rhode Island’s historic district, tradition isn’t exactly in short supply. But with the Cliffside Inn, the New England–based Lark Hotels has transformed a beautiful Victorian house into a lovely 16-room boutique hotel. And not just any Newport Victorian — this one happens to have been the home of the painter Beatrice Turner, whose artwork adorns its interiors.
Every room is different, though all are comparable in style after an extensive 2019 renovation, with eclectic Victorian-meets-contemporary interiors, stylish modern bathrooms, and luxe touches like gas fireplaces and Lather bath products. The rooms in the original house and the carriage house are perhaps a touch more authentic than the newer Cottage Suites, but the latter are notable for their extra space and their extra measure of seclusion.
Breakfast is a lavish affair served in the house’s common spaces, and every evening at five there’s a complimentary wine service and snacks. Bellevue Avenue, a few blocks to the west, is lined with restaurants, and there are many more within walking distance. And if the house isn’t quite perched precariously over the cliffside, it’s not far from it — Newport’s famed Cliff Walk, with its astonishing sea views, lies just at the end of the street.
