My husband and I stayed for a night at the Vanderbilt Hall to get away and we couldn't have picked a better location for a stress free and relaxing evening. Checking in, the staff was kind and courteous and that sentiment was extended throughout our whole stay. The lobby of the historic building is beautiful, and presents a great first... more

My husband and I decided to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary at Vanderbilt Hall just 10 days prior to October 16th, booking directly with the hotel. As the date drew near, we realized that we were not going to have very good weather as stated in the previous non-review of the hotel. We too had a 5 hour drive from... more

My son attends URI which is a short drive from Newport. The thought of a nice weekend to visit him and enjoy the town with my wife sounded like a great idea. The hotel was booked 10 days before the planned trip. A day before the trip 2 storms developed off the coast that resulted in a Nor’easter that would... more

We travel to Newport 3 to 5 times each year and always stay at Vanderbilt Hall. The rooms are a delight and the building itself simply feels like Newport, but what makes this place special is the staff. They treated us as well the first time we stayed there, when they didn't even know us, as they do now when... more

We loved this hotel so much we went back for a second weekend last summer. The first weekend we had a 1 bedroom deluxe suite with a view of the harbor. The roof deck is the perfect place to watch the sun set with a cocktail. more

I picked Vanderbilt Hall for its waterfront Newport location. My wife and I had four nights to relax in Newport and planned to daysail at Sail Newport over at Fort Adams Park until Hurricane Bill made a 22 foot J boat seem overmatched. So we took instead a 70 foot 12 meter sailboat ride and a trip on the schooner... more

We really enjoyed our stay at Vanderbilt Hall -- if there were a 4.5 star option, we'd give it that: this is a handsome building, well-run, politely staffed, and warm and inviting. The small gym and pool are wonderful and the beautiful room where they serve a good if slightly under-portioned breakfast makes a great way to start the morning... more

I have stayed in lots of different hotels all over the world, and this place is quite special. It was like staying in a very nice apartment of a friend. We booked a Junior Suite ($375 per night during the week) and got a free upgrade to a Junior Deluxe Suite ($475 per night during the week). The room was... more

Recently, my wife and I visited Newport for one night and spent it at Vanderbilt Hall. Before booking the room, we had reviewed a number of reviews of similarly situated hotels in Newport and felt that Vanderbilt Hall offered exactly what we were looking for. While we were not let down with our accomodations, the City of Newport was not... more
