Newport's inns range from restored 18th-century buildings like the Jailhouse Inn (once the county jail) to waterfront properties such as Castle Hill Inn, which boasts a private beach and on-site restaurant. Most offer free Wi-Fi, parking, and a complimentary breakfast-some even include afternoon tea and cookies. Budget-friendly options like Admiral Farragut Inn start around $100 per night, while luxury stays at Serenity Inn Newport can exceed $300. Downtown inns on Thames Street place you steps from Bowen's Wharf and the Cliff Walk, while quieter spots near Bellevue Avenue are ideal for exploring the Newport Mansions.
