Artful Lodger - A Victorian Newport hotel with harbor views, historic gardens, and three unique dining areas

Located in Newport's historic downtown, this intimate Newport hotel occupies a Victorian house with antiquated details like steep winding stairs and narrow halls. The property features three distinct seating areas: a front porch overlooking Spring Street, an award-winning garden patio, and a tranquil lily pond area with a trickling fountain. Guests enjoy breakfast at Pip's Cafe on the third floor, offering floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Newport Harbor and Fort Adams. The back garden houses a locally famous 140-year-old magnolia tree, surrounded by wrought iron furniture, ivy-covered trellises, and quaint ponds. Each room at the Artful Lodger features individual décor and a private bathroom. The property sits 0.5 miles from Thames Street and Trinity Church, with the International Tennis Hall of Fame accessible via an 11-minute walk. Multiple dining options within 0.5 miles include Winner Winner, Mamma Luisa Ristorante Italiano, and Restaurant Bouchard.
