The Chanler at Cliff Walk

Newport’s only Double 5-Star + Michelin Two-Key Hotel l Steps from the famous Cliff Walk.✨ 🗝️
(2305)

The Chanler at Cliff Walk is a waterfront luxury hotel housed in a mansion on Newport’s famed Cliff Walk. Originally built for the great granddaughter of John Jacob Astor and owned by New York Congressman John Winthrop Chanler, this European-styled boutique hotel in Newport, RI is infused with history from top to bottom. For more than five decades, the mansion was a summertime retreat for The Chan

ler family who hosted such guests as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and President Theodore Roosevelt. As a result, the mansion quickly became an emblem of Newport history and remains as such in present day. Today, the mansion is an award-winning hotel with the best ocean view in Newport, Rhode Island. Also the first historic mansion and only hotel on Cliff Walk, this New England property offers twenty guest rooms that are each unique from the next and reflect different time periods and styles. The Chanler is home to one of Newport’s premier culinary destinations, Cara Restaurant, as well as the outdoor covered terrace at The Café. In addition to luxury Newport accommodations and fine dining, The Chanler at Cliff Walk provides shelter for a romantic weekend getaway while also offering dedicated event planning services for a catered event or elegant wedding in Newport, Rhode Island. No matter what the occasion, The Chanler’s traditional style and serene New England setting provide unforgettable experiences and moments.

An evening at Cara begins with curiosity.

There is no menu.

The experience is intentionally left unwritten, allowing each course to arrive as a discovery rather than a decision.

One of the simplest luxuries in Newport is not having to think about parking.

Leave your car behind and let our complimentary Cadillac Escalade IQ house car take you into town for dinner, shopping, waterfront strolls, or an evening cocktail. Whether you're exploring the harbor, wandering Bellevue Avenue, or discovering a new favorite corner of Newport, getting there is effortless.

Available exclusively to guests of The Chanler, because some of the best parts of a getaway begin when someone else is behind the wheel.
