Fodor's Expert Review Newport Marriott

A light-filled atrium lobby with rope-draped seating areas—including hanging chairs surrounding a fountain—and a front desk that looks like a boat set a contemporary nautical tone at this luxury hotel on the harbor at Long Wharf. Rooms overlook the atrium, city, or waterfront, while fifth-floor rooms face the harbor and have doors that open onto large decks. A spa, fitness center, indoor pool, and waterfront restaurant and bar make this a true destination resort.
