The Attwater - A boutique Newport bed-and-breakfast with modern amenities and complimentary breakfast

Located in the Top of the Hill neighborhood, this four-star Newport hotel features 17 rooms equipped with Apple TVs, iPads preloaded with local information, and mini-fridges. The Attwater offers both a Main Building, a historical property with an original house name etched in stone, and the Urban Beach House featuring coastal-inspired decor with beach scene canvasses and shiplap walls. Guest rooms showcase turquoise and navy blue curtains, premium bedding, and bathrooms with Lather amenities. A modern café serves espresso drinks and complimentary breakfast featuring homemade pastries, breakfast salads, granola, and baked egg dishes. Common areas include a funky lounge with cow hair-upholstered ottomans and glass chandeliers, plus a secluded wooden deck with wicker chairs. Situated just 0.3 miles from Redwood Library and Athenaeum, the property stands three blocks from Newport Harbor and an eight-minute walk to First Beach. Thames Street's shops and restaurants are a 10-minute walk away.

“The Attwater feels more like a chic B&B than a hotel, a quiet escape a short walk from Newport's bustling center. I was especially impressed by the thoughtful touches, like iPads pre-loaded with local tips, and the curated breakfast of small plates-a refreshing change from the usual buffet. The style leans New England boutique, which creates a cozy, but sophisticated atmosphere.”
