Newport's Most Iconic Downtown Mansion

Pull back the curtain

Welcome to The Vanderbilt

Inspired by the insatiable wanderlust and rebellious spirit of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, the historic downtown mansion once owned by the businessman and scion has been reinterpreted for the modern era as a lively and stylish social destination. From a secret bar tucked into a corner of the sumptuous Doris Duke-inspired parlor to the specially-commissioned series of mysterious and moody old world still lifes sprinkled throughout the foyer and lounge, the scene at The Vanderbilt is crackling with coastal curiosities and alluring eccentricities waiting to be discovered.

This Hotel rivals any 5 star resort that I have stayed in the past. Very unique experience in an incredible historic mansion. My guest room was a loft room and the size of a small apartment. I was here for business but this room would have comfortably accommodated my family of 4. Food and drinks were all top notch along with the level of service. I really enjoyed how beautiful every room was in the building, the real fireplaces and the gorgeous detail everywhere. The bathrooms in my room were equally impressive, very clean and felt like I was in a home, not a hotel. The whole experience felt like living the royalty life for a few days.
