Artful Lodger - 5-Star Luxury Hotel in Newport

Artful Lodger offers off-street parking for guests in a residential neighborhood steps from The Elms Mansion. The innkeeper provides a personalized check-in with local recommendations and a welcome bottle of wine in the evening. Guests have access to a third-floor conservatory with harbor views and a cozy outdoor garden with a nearly 200-year-old magnolia tree.

Each room is individually decorated and includes a private bathroom, cable TV, and a telephone. Room types include Deluxe King Rooms, King Suites with Balcony, and the Havisham Suite with a spa tub and gas fireplace. The inn has no elevator, and some rooms are accessed by steep, narrow staircases.

The inn is a 4-minute walk from The Elms Mansion and a 10-minute walk to the shops and restaurants of Thames Street. The Cliff Walk and Breakers Mansion are within a 15-minute walk, and the Newport Mansions are all nearby. Salve Regina University is a 2-minute drive, and the Newport Naval Complex is 5 miles away.

A made-to-order breakfast is served each morning in the third-floor conservatory with views of Newport Harbor and the Pell Bridge. Breakfast choices include eggs, French toast, pancakes, sausage, bacon, and Greek yogurt with strawberries and blueberries. Guests also receive fresh-baked cookies upon arrival and can make Keurig coffee on the ground floor throughout the day.

The property includes a tranquil garden with a nearly 200-year-old magnolia tree and an outdoor fireplace for guest use. The conservatory on the third floor provides a view-oriented setting for breakfast and sunset watching. Off-street parking is available behind the building, a rare find in central Newport.
