The Chanler at Cliff Walk
Stay in Gilded Age splendor at this Newport institution.
Perched at the start of Newport’s famed Cliff Walk, The Chanler at Cliff Walk offers one of the most distinctive stays in New England.
Housed within a meticulously restored Gilded Age mansion, the hotel combines historic grandeur with the intimacy of a private estate, featuring individually designed rooms, oceanfront gardens, and sweeping views of the Atlantic. Its setting feels both secluded and central, placing guests within easy reach of Newport’s celebrated mansions while remaining quietly removed from the bustle of downtown. What distinguishes The Chanler is its strong sense of place. Rather than relying on a standardized luxury formula, the property embraces character, craftsmanship, and a residential atmosphere that reflects Newport’s storied past. Elegant dining, attentive service, and thoughtfully curated interiors create an experience that feels personal rather than performative. For travelers seeking romance, history, and a true connection to the Rhode Island coast, The Chanler remains one of Newport’s most memorable addresses.
