Why Choose a Staycation in Rhode Island

Rhode Island packs a lot of coastline into a short drive, which makes it an easy resort staycation for anyone in New England or New York. In Newport, you can sleep in a mansion-style hotel on the Cliff Walk, a harbor resort with a spa, or a historic inn near Bellevue Avenue. Down in Watch Hill and Weekapaug, grand seaside resorts sit right on the Atlantic. Off-season weekends bring calmer rates, cozy dining, and quiet walks by the water.
