As you approach The Cliffside Inn, the salty breeze from Easton's Beach whispers secrets of maritime history and timeless elegance. This luxurious haven, perched on the serene cliffs of Newport, invites you to surrender to the beauty of the Atlantic and the charm of a town steeped in Gilded Age glamour.
From the moment you step into the grand foyer, The Cliffside Inn envelops you in an ambiance of sophisticated comfort. Each guest room boasts meticulously curated furnishings that blend classic aesthetics with modern amenities. Imagine reclining in your plush seating area, a glass of chilled champagne in hand, as you gaze through your room's expansive windows at the shimmering ocean horizon. The soft hum of the air conditioning provides a cool respite from the warm, salty air outside, while the flat-screen TV offers a touch of contemporary luxury.
Your mornings might begin on the private terrace, where the golden sunrise illuminates the manicured gardens and casts a warm glow over the dewy lawns. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast here, surrounded by the gentle sounds of the sea and the lush greenery that makes Newport a coveted retreat.
Venture out and you'll find yourself moments away from the architectural marvel of the Rosecliff Mansion, or perhaps indulging in a game of tennis at the International Tennis Hall of Fame. The concierge at The Cliffside Inn is always on hand to tailor your day to perfection, whether it involves securing a reservation at a top-rated restaurant or arranging a private tour of the historic Vinland Estate.
As evening falls, stroll along the nearby King Park Beach, where the sunset paints the sky in strokes of lavender and gold. Later, retreat to the inn’s terrace, a perfect spot for reflecting on your day as you listen to the rhythmic lapping of the waves against the cliffs.
With its unparalleled location, The Cliffside Inn not only places you in the heart of Newport's best attractions but also serves as a tranquil sanctuary where every detail is crafted to enhance your stay. Here, luxury is not just experienced; it is felt, breathed, and lived. As the stars emerge over the Atlantic, find yourself captivated by the inn's majestic allure, promising memories that will linger long after your departure.

What we love about this stay
Ask for a room facing the garden with an ocean glimpse — the front-facing ones catch road noise, but the garden side gives you that salt-air quiet that makes mornings here feel earned. Take your coffee to the terrace before 8am, when the light off Easton's Beach is low and warm and the property is still yours alone. Skip the obvious waterfront restaurants for dinner; instead, walk the Cliff Walk at golden hour, then let the concierge point you to whichever seafood spot the locals are actually filling that season. Newport rewards those who wander without a rigid plan, and The Cliffside puts you close enough to everything that spontaneity becomes the whole strategy.

Great stay, staff is super friendly and helpful. Loved that it’s in a historic building with a story behind it and in a residential neighborhood. Would absolutely stay here again.

Overall it was a wonderful 2 days! B&B was everything t hoped for and Newport is a wonderful place to tour😍 It was well appointed with a beautiful location and a short walk to the cliff walk. Easy parking and great breakfast. Nice snacks available all day long. Wine served in early evening. Just perfect!

The manager Katy is super friendly, helpful, and simply wonderful at what she does. The Blue room was beautiful, quiet, and so relaxing to be in. Will definitely return.

Beautiful & comfortable stay at a prime location We loved the additional touches that we did not expect (snacks/coffee/tea/ bottled water available at all hours). Upon arrival we were informed about a cocktail hour. They served 5-6 different wines with a cheese board/grapes. There was plenty of space to enjoy yourself if you didn't want to mingle with other guests. The room was beautiful, the bed was comfortable, and everything was super clean. We enjoyed looking at the stars through the skylight (we were in "the Loft" room). We loved that the property was walking distance from the Cliff walk.
