The Chanler at Cliff Walk

The Chanler at Cliff Walk is the most romantically situated and architecturally distinguished boutique luxury hotel in Newport, a Victorian mansion perched directly on the Cliff Walk with unobstructed Atlantic Ocean views from every room and a level of historical character, intimate scale, and personal service that positions it as the most prestigious and emotionally resonant small hotel in the Rhode Island market. The property's eleven uniquely designed rooms, each furnished in a distinct historical period style, and the drama of the ocean views from the Cliff Walk edge give it an experiential singularity that no other Newport hotel can replicate, and the private setting above the water creates a program atmosphere of extraordinary romance and privacy for small buyout groups. For planners booking small, ultra-high-end programs in Newport where the setting and the intimacy of a Victorian mansion perched above the Atlantic are the entire program brief, The Chanler is simply without peer in the market. Similar properties worth benchmarking include The Vanderbilt Newport and Ocean House in Watch Hill.
