America's Cup Inn offers individually decorated Colonial-era style rooms blending historic charm with modern comforts such as air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Guests can start their day with a complimentary breakfast featuring a variety of fresh options, including gluten-free choices, served in a dining area with classic detailing like high ceilings and a fireplace. While the hotel does not have an elevator, its rooms are described as clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches such as heavy curtains to reduce street noise.
Located on 6 Mary Street in Newport's Downtown area, the property benefits from proximity to key local attractions including the Museum of Newport History just a two-minute walk away and the Block Island ferry within six minutes on foot. Nearby points of interest include The Breakers mansion, the Cliff Walk, and the International Tennis Hall of Fame, all popular for visitors seeking cultural and outdoor experiences during their stay.
Though parking is not provided on-site, free public parking is available across the street during certain months, making vehicular access manageable. The rooftop deck adds an appealing outdoor space, while the absence of a pool and fitness center indicates a focus on a straightforward, cozy lodging experience rather than extensive recreational facilities.
This smoke-free and pet-friendly hotel welcomes families and those looking for a convenient base in Newport’s historic district. Guest reviews highlight friendly and accommodating staff as well as a location ideal for exploring local dining and shopping. However, some noise from neighboring rooms or building features like squeaky floorboards may be noticeable given the historic nature of the property.
