Fodor's Expert Review Renaissance Providence Downtown Hotel

5 Ave. of the Arts, Rhode Island, 02903, USA

This luxury hotel occupies one of Providence's most mysterious addresses, a stately nine-story Neoclassical Revival building constructed as a Masonic temple between 1926 and 1928 but unoccupied for an inconceivable 79 years. Developers restoring the building in the early 2000s incorporated the original architectural features, but the decor has a distinctly contemporary-retro edge.
