“Wonderful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

The Vanderbilt Grace is the perfect place to stay in Newport! The hotel is a wonderful mix of classic and modern luxury with a professional staff that is very friendly and attentive to your every need. Our initial room was close to an elevator and as a seasoned traveler and light sleeper I knew this would not work. The hotel staff immediately repsonded by giving us a complimentary upgrade to a very quiet room that was spilt level with the bedroom upstairs in a quiet sanctuary. We also had a lovely dinner at the hotel restaurant Muse with a table just off the fireplace which was perfect on a cold fall evening. The complimentary breakfast in the sunroom just off the garden was the perfect way to start the day after your morning swim in the gorgeous indoor pool. The hotel is also very centrally located and an easy walk to everything. When checking out I was also surprised to learn the hotel valet parking was complimentary since it was off season ....so all of this combined also made for a great value considering the excellent quality of the stay. We will definitely be back!

“" A wonderful getaway" - superb hospitality!"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

We visit Newport every year at this time to spend time with my sister and her husband who stay at the Castle Hill Inn. While browsing the internet for a place to stay, I remembered the Vanderbilt Grace from visiting at least 20 years ago. We had a great time then, and it was even better than I remembered. My husband and I checked in around 6 pm to a wonderful reception that included a glass of champagne. The staff is fantastic and very accommodating from housekeeping, bellboys, bartenders, waiters, and the attentive and very helpful people at the reception desks! As we were playing a game of billiards we were greeted by someone who I assume was the chef, with some hot hor dourves that were delicious. I don't know if this is customary but it was a nice touch! When we arrived we were upgraded to a nicer room that was available with a king size bed that we had requested but was not confirmed. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel that was fabulous as well as enjoying the beautiful pool and sauna. Have a drink at the bar - my cosmo was made to perfection! It was a short but " really sweet" stay, and we will definitely return. The staff went out of their way to ensure that our stay was wonderful! Thank you for your hospitality - this is what it's all about and you've got it!!

Room Tip: I would highly recommend this hotel!

“Vanderbilt Grace... A great choice!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012 via mobile

Each year, my husband and I head to Newport for a fall weekend getaway. We have stayed at a number of places but always seem to return to Vanderbilt. Perfect in-town location, luxury accommodations, and great breakfast included. This past weekend was our fifth visit, and it was fabulous!!! Kudos to the staff for making one feel welcome, comfortable and pampered! Already looking forward to next year!!!!

“wonderful!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

The people that worked at the hotel were so accommodating and pleasant. The beds were so comfortable. A very nice place to stay. Friends used the Spa and loved their experience. The breakfast in the sun room was wonderful. The weather was beautiful, so it made for a great weekend get away.

We have been to Newport many times ... but our experience at Vanderbilt Grace was by far the best yet...the staff, the room, the hotel and of course the food at the Muse will bring us back with friends and family... and a special thank you to Justin for making our stay so special...
