About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for The Chanler at Cliff Walk
Great hotel, top lawn empty
Amazing place. May be biased because our family just came from The Wauwinet in Nantucket, but we wondered why The Chanler doesn’t have lounge/laying chairs on their top lawn. The lawn is completely empty, which suggests they think of it as a venue/events spot. Not what you would expect from a boutique hotel, which should prioritize hotel guests. The views of the hotel + cliff walk are crazy beautiful from the top. With the fountain + some music it could be amazing to lay there with a book + glass of wine, as an experience for hotel guests only.. Also would prob recommend music on the small pathway to our room which was the Martha’s Cineyard. You can hear cars from the boulevard, and some nice soft music could soften it. Last point is that breakfast is good but not amazing. Food’s great but hotels of this caliber generally have more going on for breakfast. Also felt like a point the hotel should show some more love to. But all over a great stay!!

FIVE STAR RESORT WITH DEAD PLANTS AT YOUR DOORSTEP!!!!!!
Had a pleasant stay at a nice resort on Cliff Walk in Newport. This is a great location for our stay in Newport Beach. We chose it due to location and favorable reviews on TripAdvisor. The major deficiency hit us in the face when the staff took us to our room. Two planter boxes at our doorstep with dead plants!!!! Yikes! A high-end resort with impeccably maintained ground, but we get to look at dead plants from our living room!!!! Not acceptable. I spoke to the front desk multiple times to rectify this situation without success. They did remove the two worst dead plants but left an empty planter box at our front door along with the other planter box with two mostly dead boxwoods. Managment did not address our concerns or offer any accommodations for a serious deficiency.

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!
