Inspired by the insatiable wanderlust and rebellious spirit of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, the historic downtown mansion once owned by the businessman and scion has been reinterpreted for the modern era as a lively and stylish social destination. From a secret bar tucked into a corner of the sumptuous Doris Duke-inspired parlor to the specially-commissioned series of mysterious and moody old world still lifes sprinkled throughout the foyer and lounge, the scene at The Vanderbilt is crackling with coastal curiosities and alluring eccentricities waiting to be discovered.

I had a wonderful stay at The Vanderbilt, Auberge Resorts Collection. My room was beautiful and incredibly comfortable, and the service throughout the hotel was exceptional. Every staff member I encountered was welcoming and attentive, which made the experience feel truly special. I especially loved the pool and sauna—such a relaxing way to spend time after exploring Newport. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay.

Amazing getaway weekend in Newport, RI. I stayed at this hotel a decade ago and it was lovely but since then it has become even more impressive. The renovations were very cool the staff are absolutely the best I have encountered. We had wonderful spa treatments , great dining experiences and fun activities at the hotel. I highly recommend this gem.

My stay at the Vanderbilt in Newport was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the level of service was exceptional — every detail was thoughtfully handled and we were made to feel completely taken care of. The staff treated us like royalty, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The room was beautiful and impeccably designed, blending historic charm with modern comfort. The décor throughout the property is stunning and perfectly captures the elegance and grandeur you’d expect from such an iconic mansion. Dinner on site was equally impressive — the food, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding. It felt like a full experience, not just a meal. It’s rare to find a place where every element — the accommodations, the service, the setting, and the dining — is executed so flawlessly. I’ve never felt so welcomed and cared for during a stay. I cannot recommend it highly enough and can’t wait to return.

My wife and I traveled to Newport for a long weekend to enjoy some spa services and relax. The Vanderbilt's service is top tier. Every member of their staff that we had an interaction with was extremely pleasant and professional. We felt like we did not need to lift a finger. They were extremely responsive in catering to all of our requests. We will certainly be back.
