Newport's Oceanfront Gem
A historic 1833 maritime estate perched on 21 acres of cliff-top grounds, offering unobstructed ocean views and refined coastal hospitality steps from Newport's historic center.
Our Story
Built in 1833 as a private maritime home, Castle Hill Inn has welcomed travelers for nearly two centuries. Perched on the bluffs overlooking the Atlantic, our inn offers a rare blend of historic character and coastal tranquility — just minutes from Newport's vibrant downtown.
Each of our thoughtfully appointed rooms captures the spirit of Newport's Gilded Age, with period details, ocean breezes, and modern comforts woven together to create a stay that feels both timeless and refreshingly contemporary.
