“Island House Newport represents a new level of accommodation for the city. We designed and built it with an intimate understanding of what makes Newport exceptional,” said John Marshall, owner, Marshall Properties. “We are excited to bring this vision to life in partnership with Main Street Hospitality.”

Located at 37 Memorial Boulevard near the harbor, beaches and illustrious Bellevue Avenue, this property is also within distance of the famous Cliff Walk that straddles the space between the seafront and town’s renowned collection of magnificent estates with its towering mansions and expansive lawns.

Premier rooms have kitchenettes, while the Grand Suite has a king bed, private bedroom sofa bed, two televisions, bathroom and full kitchen. Penthouse suites have two bedrooms, a full and half bath, sofa bed, full kitchen, and generously proportioned living-dining area.

“At Main Street, we are dedicated to creating meaningful stays, and Island House Newport is a stunning addition to our growing collection.
