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.

Such a special quality property. The staff in all aspects made the trip experience that much more of a pleasure. Excellent food, beautiful accommodations- Worth it.

This hotel is absolutely stunning! The Nantucket ocean villa provides a beautiful view and wonderful aesthetic. While we had a great stay and cannot sing higher praises for all staff - we do think there are a few areas for improvement, especially considering the price point. The mattress in this suite felt like it was a triangle, so we felt like we were rolling off both sides. All pillows on the bed are thinner down pillows that provide little/no support when you lay on them so I would recommend bringing a preferred pillow if you would like firmer support. We struggled to get the AC going a bit and think the minibar/fridge could use some additional offerings beyond two water bottles. Besides that, we would still recommend this property to any couple looking for a unique and luxurious experience in Newport.

Our stay at The Chanler Cliff Walk exceeded our expectations. In addition to the stunning views and location right on the cliff walk. There is a lush green lawn with seating that overlooks the bay. The weather was so beautiful and the view so enjoyable that we sat there for hours – sometimes just the two of us and sometimes talking with other guest or staff of the hotel. Very, very nice.Our room was beautiful and furnished with quality, antiques and paintings. It was meticulously maintained by the housekeeping staff. All of the staff, and I mean ALL, were top-notch from the bellmen to the chef and manager. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. The food was excellent. There are many special features and services that the CHANLER offers besides being a great hotel.

Our only complaint was that we had to leave after three days. Our stay was fabulous and I am very hard to please!

From courteous valet to front desk assisting in any reservations to anything we wanted to do, this place was truly special. We had breakfast and it was the best breakfast we could remember. Absolutely the finest place.

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!
