Tucked into the heart of Newport, Rhode Island’s Historic District, The Cliffside Inn blends coastal charm with rich history and artistic flair. This boutique hotel occupies a beautifully restored 1876 Victorian manor, where every room tells a different story through its design. With only 16 uniquely furnished rooms and suites, each stay feels personal and thoughtful. Just steps from the iconic Cliff Walk and within walking distance of Newport’s beaches, shops, and restaurants, The Cliffside Inn makes a standout home base for exploring this classic New England destination.

Inside, you’ll find gas fireplaces, luxe amenities, and eclectic touches inspired by former resident and artist Beatrice Turner. Outside, elegant porches, coastal gardens, and ocean views invite slow mornings and scenic evenings. Daily gourmet breakfasts, afternoon wine and refreshments, and 24/7 coffee service round out the relaxed yet refined experience. Whether for a romantic getaway or a peaceful solo retreat, a stay at The Cliffside Inn in Newport, RI, is equal parts comfort and character.

For your pet's comfort we will happily provide a dog bed, bowl and a welcome toy! We charge a pet fee of $50 per pet, per day.
  • Please be aware that pets must never be left in a guest room alone, and are permitted only on our porches and the exterior common areas of our hotel, and only while on leash. While we love our pets, not all of our guests feel the same way. For this reason, pets are never permitted in interior public spaces.
  • As a condition of reserving a room at this hotel, you agree to pay a $250.00 fee per night if any pets are found in rooms not designated as pet friendly, or if your pet causes stains or damage to a pet friendly guest room.
