Fodor's Review:

Newport's most romantic mansion was built in 1902, commissioned by Tessie Hermann Oelrichs, who inherited a Nevada silver fortune from her father. Stanford White modeled the palace after the Grand Trianon at Versailles. Rosecliff has a heart-shaped staircase and Newport's largest private ballroom. Some scenes from The Great Gatsby and True Lies were filmed here.

Cost: $11
Open: Mid-Apr.-mid-Nov., daily 10-5
