Castle Hill Inn & Resort

Something about this oceanfront retreat induces a state of utter relaxation. Sure, the bustle of Newport awaits anyone who ventures beyond its gracious rooms, private beach, walking trails, and sweeping views (the one from the Turret Suite's soaking tub is our favorite). But for us, sipping cocktails in Adirondack chairs before selecting from the locally focused dinner menu provides sufficient excitement to last a weekend.
