Artful Lodger - A historic boutique inn with made-to-order breakfast and views of Newport Harbor near Elms Mansion
A 5-star adults-only historic boutique inn with a 9.0/10 Booking.com rating, the Artful Lodger is situated on Newport Harbor, a 4-minute walk from Elms Mansion. Each of its individually decorated rooms includes a private bathroom and cable TV; some offer harbor views from the third-floor conservatory. A made-to-order breakfast-options like pancakes, eggs, and sausage-is served each morning at the Artful Lodger in a breakfast room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the harbor. The property features tranquil outdoor gardens with a nearly 200-year-old magnolia tree, an outdoor fireplace, and a terrace. Free off-street parking and free Wi-Fi are provided. The inn is within a 2-minute drive of Bellevue Shopping Center and Salve Regina University, and within walking distance of Cliff Walk and downtown Newport's restaurants and shops. Meeting and banquet facilities are available, along with express check-in/check-out and concierge service. The Artful Lodger also offers a cozy communal conservatory where guests can enjoy wine in the evening.
