The Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport, RI
The Chanler at Cliff Walk offers 20 carefully curated and uniquely designed guest rooms. Each room is inspired by a different theme or historical period. In April 2026, the hotel unveiled a lobby redesigned by Studio Valerius, along with new finishes on the guest floors.
The Renaissance room, for example, is one of the largest and most popular rooms in the hotel. It is inspired by Roman classicism. Guests will enjoy a spectacular marble bath complete with sunken tub surrounded by Roman columns.
The bedroom, surrounded by tall windows, overlooks the private rooftop deck. Turquoise and gold are used throughout to adorn the four windows and the antique-white four-poster king bed.
Inspired by a distinctively different theme, the English Tudor room, on the other hand, is a junior suite with beautifully carved woodwork and traditional linenfold oak panels. Its enormous four-poster leather king bed sits on a plat-formed floor of antique wide-planked oak.
The English Tudor room is divided into a sitting area complete with a couch and overstuffed chair facing the oak-paneled wall with built-in television and antique Tudor-style fireplace. The step-down bathroom is decorated in rich Emperador dark brown marble and includes a large shower and built-in marble vanity and makeup table.
In addition to the 14 rooms inside the mansion, The Chanler hotel also boasts three Ocean Villas and three Garden Villas. The Martha’s Vineyard villa, for example, is the most romantic and glamorous villa at The Chanler. It often serves as a bridal suite during weddings.
Decorated in various blues, creams, and tans, the luxurious room has a large tumbled-marble bathroom with a jacuzzi and an open shower. Outside, the private outdoor deck has private access to the courtyard and overlooks the ocean.
Cara is The Chanler’s fine-dining restaurant. It builds upon its predecessor’s reputation, the award-winning restaurant, Spiced Pear at The Chanler. Dress up with your best business casual attire and be ready to discover one of New England’s most engaging culinary experiences.
Executive chef Jacob Jasinski runs Cara as a menuless tasting experience that changes nightly. In the cooler months it moves to the Cara Counter, a five-course blind tasting. The hotel says Cara holds both the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five-Star distinctions.
Joining Cara is Remy’s Loose, the more casual restaurant that opened in 2025 and serves lunch and dinner daily. For a drink before dinner, The Living Room is the hotel’s cocktail and caviar lounge.
