Loved everything. The service was impeccable. Gorgeous, spacious rooms. The cocktails were perfect. Even the mocktails for my sister who was pregnant - perfect. They went above and beyond to make the experience special. The dark tones, the leather... a perfect winter getaway vibe. Haven't been in the summer - I'm sure extra lovely with the rooftop with a view of the harbor. Guess we'll just have to come back

After an incredible Sailors Tea, I had to share we just fell in love with The Vanderbilt all over again! I sure hope the quality, prices and staffing don’t change under new ownership. We love escaping here for culinary experiences and more

We absolutely love treating ourselves to lunch and breakfast here. We enjoy the bar and fireplace for drinks too! And, the sun room with tea or drinks is a special place to take people on occasion.

The staff are all so sweet and full of warmth. My favorite are the door men and Bellhops who always greet us with a smile, or tease me into believing something silly. It’s a jovial and whimsical vibe the moment we walk up the steps.

Going here makes an every day a special day. It is my self care go to! Alone, with my hubby or friends!

This place was awesome.  Their service was absolutely incredible.  For example, the concierge found us a place to eat dinner and took care of everything on short notice.  I am a VERY light sleeper and I heard music from the restaurant and before I was in the room, I asked the staff when the music goes off.  I told them I was a light sleeper and they told me they would turn it down.  I asked them not to unless it was a problem.  Went up to he room and it was not.  The concierge called me and asked what time I go to sleep and they would turn it down.  We didn't need them to do that, but the extent that the staff goes to welcome you is awesome.  The room was amazing and clean.  They do an incredible job.

What a lovely hotel, reminiscent of the Newport mansions. Unique and filled with character. I wish we could have stayed longer! The service was impeccable, friendly, and inviting. The Conservatory was such a pretty spot for breakfast. The Dining Room was dimly lit with a working fireplace. So cozy for mid afternoon or pre-dinner drinks! We had oysters and cocktails by the fire. The Servers and Bartenders were fantastic. So relaxing, and exactly what we were looking for.
