Captain Simeon Potter House - A restored 18th-century sea captain's home with period furnishings and bay views in The Point historic district

Located in Newport's Point district, a National Historic Landmark area containing over 350 restored colonial homes, this 300-year-old 4-star Newport hotel features six individually decorated bedrooms across multiple chambers. The Captain Simeon Potter House offers marble bathrooms, individual climate control, and WiFi throughout. Guest rooms showcase period furnishings, including Honduran mahogany pieces, and Austrian duck-down duvets. The Northwest and Southwest chambers feature symmetrically arranged historical décor, while the Northeast and Southeast chambers form a family suite with shared bathroom. A chef's kitchen serves daily hot breakfast with organic, locally-sourced ingredients. The property includes a sun-drenched library, outdoor dining pergola, and cutting garden. Captain Simeon Potter House sits 1968.5 ft from Old Colony Newport, with Museum of Newport History and Bowen's Wharf within 0.5 miles.

“Spending time in this restored 300-year-old house, a recent recipient of Newport's Historic Preservation award, felt like stepping back in time, yet with every modern comfort considered. I was particularly drawn to its location, a quiet spot within easy walking distance of the main attractions, and the promise of breakfasts made with local, organic ingredients-a detail that speaks volumes about the care taken here. It strikes me as an ideal choice for couples or families seeking a blend of history, charm, and a genuinely personal touch.”
