Wellington Resort

Overlooking Newport Harbor, the all-suite Wellington Resort offers direct walking access to downtown Newport's shops, restaurants, and historic attractions like the Newport Mansions and Cliff Walk. The 3-star resort features spacious suites with separate living areas, fully-equipped kitchens (most with full-size appliances but no stovetop or oven in junior suites), and private balconies with harbor views. Two swimming pools are available: a heated indoor pool and a seasonal outdoor pool, both with sun loungers and umbrellas, plus a separate kiddie pool. Recreational facilities include a fitness centre, sauna, and a shared lounge with board games and a TV. Complimentary Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the resort, and a business centre provides fax/photocopying and meeting/banquet facilities. Free parking and express check-in/out are offered; the property is entirely smoke-free and pet-free. For outdoor dining, guests can use the BBQ facilities on the garden terrace overlooking the harbor. All suites include air conditioning, heating, and a washer/dryer, with daily housekeeping available upon request. The resort's location on Thames Street puts guests within a short walk of the National Sailing Hall of Fame and the waterfront.
