The Vanderbilt, Auberge Collection

We had such an amazing time at this lovely hotel. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, helping us to line up a car tour of the area. We enjoyed the spa, dining room, brunch, tarot and indoor pool.

We had a lovely experience, the hotel was beautiful. The front desk was warm and friendly. Also it was the week after the snow storm, everything was cleared up, the valet made sure our car was upfront in the freezing cold. Breakfast service as well, was super friendly.

We celebrated my sister’s birthday and the Vanderbilt was the perfect setting. We had a couple of suites so could relax in our rooms together. The brunch is especially good, and the pool is serene and pretty. It was cold outside but warm at the Vanderbilt in every way.

Terrific stay at The Vanderbilt that made our special anniversary feel even more special. The rooms and the common areas were impeccable, top notch service, and delicious food. We'll be back!

Quite disappointed with this Auberge which really doesn’t meet their normal standards. The room was large, two stories and was well equipped, sort of!! Had to ask several times for things you’d normally expect. Staff not as friendly or helpful as expected and the food can be split.. breakfast food was good and choice was ok.. evening meal was atrocious and the service and eating areas were awful.. actually found it quite grubby. Good base for Rhode Island which wasn’t what I expected at all.. very touristy and a little down market.. positively Baltic in March

The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly staff ready and willing to assist us. Check in process was efficient. The room was immaculate. Staff through out our stay was so gracious and helpful. The entire inn is beautiful. The atmosphere creates a calm, warm and cozy feel. We loved every minute of our stay!

I had a wonderful New Year’s stay at the Vanderbilt. Gabby and the entire front desk team were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure my friend and I had an amazing vacation. That level of hospitality truly stood out. The property has such a cozy atmosphere with a beautiful Gilded Age edge. It feels both elegant and inviting. We attended the New Year’s Eve party and everything from the food and drinks to the entertainment was fantastic. All in all, it was an awesome New Year’s excursion, and I will absolutely be back to stay at the Vanderbilt.

What a beautiful hotel in downtown Newport The decor is dark and warm. Rooms and common areas in excellent condition The restaurant is excellent as are the cocktails and creative events the hotel hosts.

I have lived in Newport and have a business in town, but this is the first time at the hotel for either a food or overnight experience. The property is quintessential Newport - loads of historic detail and charm. It is elevated but understated at the same time. Loved the intimacy of the property and all the cozy rooms.

I have been going to the Vanderbilt Grace restaurant for about 15 years a few times a year. In its early days, the food, the design and ambience of the restaurant was exceptional. Warm cozy, atmosphere professional weight staff with terrific food. As it has gone through its different owners in the last 10 years. It has slipped a little bit each time. I’ve eaten there twice in the last two weeks. Two weeks ago the pork chop was excellent. Last night filet mignon special was slightly above average. It was old meat that had been frozen and lost its flavor when defrosted and cooked. The current ambience and decor is a monotone. Although semi luxurious nothing like it used to be. The waiter staff and host seem to be mostly local college kids. Certainly not a professional group.. Would say currently the menu is quite limited. Used to be better. The specials aren’t very good. Would consider other places like Castle Hill first. It’s not what it used to be. Take your chances going there.
