Fodor's Expert Review The Dean

122 Fountain St., Downcity, Providence, Rhode Island, 02903, USA

A building that once housed a strip club is now a trendy boutique hotel with a minimalist, masculine vibe and a sexy cocktail den. Accommodations range from rooms with twin bunkbeds to a suite with a king-size bed and seating for six. Guest rooms are compact but well designed, feature original handcrafted and fine artworks, and have writing desks and signature black bathrooms with rain showerheads. Drinking and dining options include a coffee shop, a karaoke bar, and an old-school beer hall. Though the setting looks adult, the property welcomes guests with children and pets.
