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.

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.

This hotel far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—warm, genuine, and consistent throughout our stay. We spent more time at the property than we usually do because every dining experience was so memorable. The tasting menu at Cara was extraordinary—creative, delicious, with perfect service. Breakfast at Remy’s on the patio overlooking the water was another highlight, with attentive service that made it feel special. We also enjoyed evenings in the wine garden and a wonderful dinner at the bar, where Kevin kept the atmosphere lively and welcoming, even on a busy night. As guests, we always felt valued and cared for, which is rare these days. Our room was beautifully appointed with luxurious linens and every amenity we could want, making it as comfortable as it was elegant. The mansion setting on the Cliff Walk is stunning, but what truly sets this property apart is the combination of outstanding service and exceptional food and drink. It is a rare gem—beautiful, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Great Hotel and Staff. Food was wonderful - especially at Cara. The Chanler is reasonably close for walking to Belleview Ave and the trolley as well as the Famous houses.

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!
