Cliffside Style Our style of hospitality is a unique one. It's a hybrid experience with roots drawn from both a classic America Bed and Breakfast -- the warmth and intimacy -- and the luxury and service of a small deluxe European hotel. Set in one of America's most historic, oceanside destinations, Cliffside is an authentic, lavishly restored Victorian Manor House, filled with the artwork of enigmatic artist, and former resident, Beatrice Turner.
To that, we've added a number of sophisticated touches, from exotic bathing salons with whirlpools and steam baths, to grand beds and finely appointed guest quarters, to warm hospitality and refined dining. In fact, the founder of the Cliffside Inn, the late Winthrop Baker Senior, has been recognized by The New York Times and Boston Globe among others, as one of the architects and innovators of this hybrid category of luxury, service, and authenticity. It's a style currently influencing the hospitality industry from Bed and Breakfasts to boutique hotels alike.
What To Expect In addition to the sumptuous surroundings and accoutrements, you will find our complimentary food services memorable. Enjoy morning coffee service delivered to your room and a multi-course gourmet breakfast. Notable as those are, afternoon high tea is the main event around here. You will see why critics have favorably compared it to the St. Regis, Fairmont Empress, and Windsor Court Hotels, in its grandness but steeped in an intimacy all its own. It's nicely accented by our chocolatier who creates truffles, chocolate-dipped fruits, cakes, and other signature treats for tea and turndown.
Service And Amenities Evening turndown service, twice daily housekeeping, and a deluxe collection of bed and bath amenities, are just the beginning. We offer a full range of complimentary concierge services to help put your day and night together. Newport features a wide array of cultural and natural attractions, from the Gilded Age mansions, colonial architecture and museums, to sweeping beaches, nature preserves, vineyards, and lighthouses, to world famous music festivals, sailing, tennis, golf, and of course, shopping and antiquing.
