“The Attwater strikes me as a particularly well-situated base for exploring Newport without a car; I like the idea of walking to the Cliff Walk or The Breakers, then returning for the curated breakfast, complete with homemade pastries. It's a stylish and historically-minded property where the charm comes without sacrificing modern perks like iPads loaded with local intel and access to a sister hotel's amenities. A genuinely appealing option for a Newport getaway.”
