The Vanderbilt Auberge Collection

The Vanderbilt Hotel in Newport is an absolute gem! The common areas are stunning, with elegant decor that perfectly captures the charm of Newport. Our room was comfortable, beautifully appointed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The highlight, though, was the rooftop bar—sipping cocktails while watching the sunset over the harbor was unforgettable! The staff truly made our experience exceptional. Said and the valet team were incredibly friendly and attentive, always greeting us with a smile and ensuring every detail was handled seamlessly. Amy, Ivan, and Darby went above and beyond, providing outstanding service and making us feel so welcome. They were especially thoughtful with our dog, always ensuring fresh water was available, which meant the world to us. We can’t wait to return to this wonderful hotel!

We had the most delightful stay in Newport at the Vanderbilt. I cannot stress enough what an absolute gem of a human Gaby was. She made us feel like friends, not guests, and was able to accommodate any minor request we had. The property itself was so special and the outdoor spaces were filled with hydrangeas. For location, it was a 2 min walk to downtown and about 7-10 min walk to most restaurants we wanted to go to. Highly recommend staying here! Food was great and rooftop was so nice for drinks.

Stopped in for a cocktail in the lower restaurant and the rooftop sunset with friends. Everyone working there was exceptional and helpful in hospitality....except one waitress on the rooftop bar who was rather rude; tried to kind of make up for it but the experience was already soured. Other than that, the snack we got was fresh and delicious; just should have come with a utensil. All else was good.
