I stayed in a Master Junior Suite, which had stunning corners with massive windows, though I was surprised that there was no bathtub—a nice shower was provided instead. The room felt elegant and comfortable, with high ceilings and upscale decor, even if the bathroom lacked shelving.

I had a lovely stay at The Vanderbilt, enjoying the stunning decor and welcoming staff. The hotel's intimate atmosphere made it feel like home, and I relished the convenience of its prime location near Thames Street. However, I encountered some inconveniences due to holiday events that limited access to public spaces, and the gym equipment was out of service during my visit.

While the hotel itself is beautifully maintained, it was disappointing that the only weight machine in the gym was broken, and the lack of lit fireplaces didn't quite match the cozy atmosphere I expected.

6.6/10

I found The Vanderbilt to have some charm, but my stay was far from really good. The location is fantastic for exploring Newport, and the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. However, issues like the dimly lit decor, noisy air conditioning, and the disappointment of a closed rooftop deck significantly affected my experience.

Rooms

While the Admiral Suite had comfortable beds and a spacious living area, the small bathroom felt inadequate for a luxury hotel. The dark color scheme and poor lighting made the rooms feel cramped and uninviting.
