Mill Street Inn

Just a short walk from the lively waterfront and Thames Street in Newport, Rhode Island, this converted 19th-century mill blends old-world character with modern comfort in its suite-only accommodations.

Inside the suites, original timber beams and exposed brick set a historic tone, while plush linens, soft bathrobes, and Lather Spa toiletries add a touch of indulgence. After a day out exploring Newport, unwind with a movie on the flat-screen TV or help yourself to the complimentary fruit and snacks waiting in your room.

When the weather’s nice—from Memorial Day through Labor Day—a free continental breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace, where you can take in sweeping views of the city and Newport Harbor. In cooler months, breakfast moves into the cozy dining rooms. Afternoon tea is offered daily in the same inviting space.

Guests traveling as a couple especially love the setting, awarding it a standout rating of 9.8 out of 10 for two-person stays.
