Hotel Providence - A landmark 4-star hotel in Providence's historic theater district with elegant event spaces and local art

Located in the Downtown Providence Historic District, this landmark Providence hotel occupies two late-1800s buildings bordered by Washington, Westminster, Empire, and Weybosset streets. The Tilden Thurber Ballroom accommodates up to 150 guests with its original coffered ceiling and gold leaf mirrors. The 96-room property features 80 guestrooms and 16 suites decorated with oil paintings, antique furnishings, and works by local artists. The casual Backstage Kitchen + Bar overlooks Grace Park and offers outdoor courtyard dining. Full-service catering is available in multiple venues including the RISD Gallery Room and Brown University Boardroom. The hotel sits steps from the Providence Performing Arts Center and Trinity Repertory Company. Located 12.5 miles from T.F. Green Airport, Hotel Providence provides easy access to the RISD Museum's collection of over 100000 artworks.

Pros

Located in a National Historic District with 112 preserved buildings dating to 1984

Features a soothing color scheme with magnolia walls and cherry brocade accents

The courtyard offers bistro lighting and a fire pit for outdoor gatherings

The rooftop Blackstone Terrace provides city views and event space for up to 150 guests

Cons

12.5 miles distance from T.F. Green Airport

Limited outdoor space in the urban setting

“This historic hotel stands out for its European flair in downtown, located steps from the theater district. The individually designed rooms and suites, along with local culinary options, create a distinct sense of place. While some may find the immediate surroundings gritty, the hotel itself offers a polished experience, complete with personalized service and event capabilities.”
