Newport has long been a playground for the wealthy.
Today, visitors are more likely to spend a leisurely weekend than the entire social season of yesteryear. For the
perfect weekend of gilded age glamor, try
The Chanler at Cliff Walk. This
mansion was built in 1865 overlooking the Atlantic ocean and has been converted into a great inn with luxurious suites
and rooms. I love the English Tudor suite with lots of paneling and an ocean view. Try the
Spiced Pear restaurant in the hotel for ocean views and dishes like Chateaubriand
of Kobe Beef, Coriander Crusted Cervena Venison, or Oven Roasted Bob White Quail.

I've been planning to spend this year vacation wandering through Scotland but this piece really attracts me. Probably I'll be forced to "change my dream" and visit this cosy nook.

I have stayed here. The rooms are cozy and plush and the view wonderful; however the staff are young and inexperienced to the point of child-like and incompetent. The food is over reaching and fails most of the time. The menu should be revamped and simplified to reflect the casual atmosphere of Newport. It would be a lovely place to stay if a professional staff can be found to operate it like a top hotel should be run.
