(2298)

The Chanler at Cliff Walk is a waterfront luxury hotel housed in a mansion on Newport’s famed Cliff Walk. Originally built for the great granddaughter of John Jacob Astor and owned by New York Congressman John Winthrop Chanler, this European-styled boutique hotel in Newport, RI is infused with history from top to bottom. For more than five decades, the mansion was a summertime retreat for The Chan

ler family who hosted such guests as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and President Theodore Roosevelt. As a result, the mansion quickly became an emblem of Newport history and remains as such in present day. Today, the mansion is an award-winning hotel with the best ocean view in Newport, Rhode Island. Also the first historic mansion and only hotel on Cliff Walk, this New England property offers twenty guest rooms that are each unique from the next and reflect different time periods and styles. The Chanler is home to one of Newport’s premier culinary destinations, Cara Restaurant, as well as the outdoor covered terrace at The Café. In addition to luxury Newport accommodations and fine dining, The Chanler at Cliff Walk provides shelter for a romantic weekend getaway while also offering dedicated event planning services for a catered event or elegant wedding in Newport, Rhode Island. No matter what the occasion, The Chanler’s traditional style and serene New England setting provide unforgettable experiences and moments.

There are people who save caviar for special occasions. And there are people who know that opening a tin is the special occasion.

We won’t settle the classic debate, but we’re curious…

How do you eat yours? Straight from the spoon? On a warm blini? With potato chips? Or is there another way we need to try?

Every room has a name. Every name, a world of its own.

At The Chanler, no two rooms are alike. Each is given its own moment, with a distinct sense of place, story, and character waiting behind the door.

Twenty rooms. Twenty stories. Which one will be yours?

This weekend, America turns 250. 🇺🇸

There is something special about celebrating a milestone like this in Newport, where history isn't confined to museums. It lives in the streets, along the Cliff Walk, and in houses like ours.

Built in 1873, The Chanler has welcomed generations of guests to this remarkable stretch of coastline, and we're grateful to continue that tradition today.

Here's to 250 years of stories, and to the ones still waiting to be made.

Not every luxury can be packed into a suitcase.

Sometimes it's the memory of a quiet morning by the ocean. The window left open. The sound of the waves. The rare feeling that, for a moment, life wasn't asking anything of you.

The Block Island Room.

Save this for when you need a place to exhale.

An evening at Cara begins with curiosity.

There is no menu.

The experience is intentionally left unwritten, allowing each course to arrive as a discovery rather than a decision.

One of the simplest luxuries in Newport is not having to think about parking.

Leave your car behind and let our complimentary Cadillac Escalade IQ house car take you into town for dinner, shopping, waterfront strolls, or an evening cocktail. Whether you're exploring the harbor, wandering Bellevue Avenue, or discovering a new favorite corner of Newport, getting there is effortless.

Available exclusively to guests of The Chanler, because some of the best parts of a getaway begin when someone else is behind the wheel.
