It doesn’t get much more romantic than an oceanside stay at a historic hotel in Newport, according to Conde Nast Traveler.

The travel publication released a list of the most romantic hotels in the world and included The Chanler at Cliff Walk, situated on Newport’s world famous scenic path.

The hotels on the list “set the stage for unforgettable moments and adventures,” wrote the publication.

Here is what Conde Nast Traveler wrote about the hotel:

For a true taste of American history, we bet The Age of Innocence began and never ended at this opulent seaside resort. Newport has long catered to the country’s upper crust, and you likely would have bumped into a Vanderbilt at The Chanler at Cliff Walk in the late 1800s. Today, rooms are decorated in the styles of different historical periods, each more extravagant than the next. Our favorite is the Martha’s Vineyard villa, an ocean-view beauty with a mantled fireplace, prim blue chairs, and a full-canopied four-poster king bed with an intricately carved wooden frame as the focal point. Come summer, book one of its three private yurts, where you can enjoy a light, prix-fixe dinner (think: fresh tomato salad, whitefish crudo) along with the ocean breeze. There’s a reason—or ten—why this place has often been voted the most romantic hotel in America.

However, couples seeking a Valentine’s Day stay should take note that the property is closed for the month, according to the hotel’s website.

“The Chanler hotel and restaurants are closed from January 1 to February 28, 2025 for our annual employee wellness break and property refresh. We look forward to welcoming you back soon,” wrote hotel officials.
