When it opened in 1873, The Chanler at Cliff Walk was a mecca in Newport, Rhode Island for financiers, industrialists and tycoons. Following a multi-million dollar restoration, it today epitomizes the glories of yesteryear with lavishly adorned mansion accommodations, and garden and ocean villas that boast private gated courtyards. The name of each room reflects its décor, from the romantic English Trellis Room to the Renaissance Junior Suite evocative of Versailles.

The Chanler is our go to place for personal celebrations-our anniversary, birthdays, "We need a break" days. Everything about the place is so well done. Attention to detail is evident everywhere. The staff is personable and gracious. The decor is beautiful and the restaurants are special. Cara, the main food attraction is the best we have ever encountered (and we have been to all fifty states and many countries around the world looking for fine dining). The food of the nine course Chef's Table dinner was simply the best we have ever had. Each course was beautifully presented (as food, not sculpture!) and just delightful. Chef Jasinski and his staff explained each preparation and his pleasure in his work and his interaction with his staff which we observed from our table enhanced the whole experience. Kudos to The Chanler!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and were stunned by the beauty of the hotel. The staff made it even better with their professionalism and promptness with every request. We can't wait to come back!

You won't find more professional and courteous staff than at The Chanler. The property is beautiful and well maintained - in addition to being spotlessly clean! Its proximity to the southern end of the cliff walk is perfect for morning strolls and scenic sunrises. We have stayed each of the past 2 years can't wait to return again soon.

This is a stunning property with maybe the best views in New England. But they only allow you to sit in the restaurant area without ocean views! Don’t really understand why. There’s a gorgeous area with stunning cliff views where Cara is normally located, but this area is closed for the season and Remys Loose doesn’t use it. We were really upset by this. Seems the waiters thought it was a few steps too many for them to serve us there. Makes zero sense to us given the opportunity for breathtaking views. Next time we won’t eat at their restaurant since the whole point of being in Newport is looking at the ocean. But great location otherwise.

My family and I had two rooms (the Georgian and the Victorian), and both were beautifully appointed, immaculate and had wonderful views. However, what really impressed us was the service. We were greeted by name everywhere we went in the hotel, and the staff seemed very well informed as to the reason for our stay (we were there for a wedding at another location). Everyone, frorm the front desk, to the valets to the shuttle drivers were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and seemed to bend over backwards to ensure that our stay was an excellent one. I will definitely stay here anytime I visit Newport!

My husband and I just returned from a 3-night stay at The Chanler at Cliff Walk. Our stay was fabulous as was the staff, the Spiced Pear Restaurant and our room. It is located perfectly at the beginning of Cliff Walk and has great access to all the mansions. We have used Luxury Link many times and our stay at The Chanler was one of our best. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone!
