The Gilded is a beautiful property and sits kinda at the top of the hill. It is in walking distance to the major shops and restaurants. Easy parking and access to Cliffside via the sister property. The room was large and spacious. Love the decor of the entire property as it spoke to my inner child. Snacks throughout the day in the registration area. I would say, I had breakfast once while there and because of the low occupancy it was made to order. I think in order to upgrade the breakfast offering, make it continental with bagels, pastries, smear, and other assorted items which means that front desk staff just have to plate versus cook. I would stay here again.

Hotel's Favourite
We loved our stay at Gilded! Our room was beautifully decorated and felt more like home than a traditional hotel room. We stayed in a queen deluxe room and we had plenty of room for the two of us. Breakfast was not only tasty but also presented, literally, as pretty as a picture. There was a large variety each morning and everything we tried was delicious. There was a hot water kettle out each evening, along with a wonderful sampling of teas, a pitcher of cool water and granola bars. The courtyard was a wonderful spot to eat breakfast each morning and the outdoor sofas and fire table were a great spot to enjoy a hot cup of tea after a long day of touring the mansions. The staff was attentive and took wonderful care of us. The common rooms in the property were vibrant, colorful and inviting. We would not hesitate to stay at Gilded the next time our travels bring us to Newport.

Boulder, Colorado468 contributions288 helpful votes
At $357 per night this was one of the most expensive hotels we have ever stayed at. Very fine breakfast, but several disappointments. Our room had no mini fridge, no microwave, no closet, no desk, no convenient electrical outlets. It had rather bizarre décor. The shower and sink did not drain properly. The bathroom floor yel-low pine was black next to the shower. The heat pump at the room ceiling had a remote thermostat that did not work—we froze. No elevator. No staff on site most of the time. We arrived at 6:30 pm and we were told by email that our room key and wifi information would be in our room. It was not, so we had to call the clerk who drove his car over to give it to us. The hotel is on a very short and obscure street which was hard to find, and our room was hard to find in the hotel. Breakfast started late—8 pm. Parking was very tight.

The house and rooms are comfortable and clean. Some staff are really nice and some need more training and social skills. Breakfast should be improved, when we were there milk for coffee was sour and fruit too humid and maybe rotten. Rooms were very nice and location too. Newport is great.

Our stay at Gilded was great. Breakfast was fantastic and changed each day. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in a quiet area away from the normal bustle but not too far. Room was simple and pleasant.

My stay was amazing! Went with my boyfriend and we absolutely loved it. It had a bed and breakfast feel to it, the room we had was so clean and such a cute vibe to it. Staff was so kind and helpful, and the BREAKFAST!!! Our favorite part! It was so delicious, we looked forward to it each morning! The hotel was in a great location as well to walk to shops, restaurants, and the wharfs. Do yourself a favor and book a stay here!

Lovely stay at the Gilded. Great location walking distance to almost everything and there is a free trolley. Rooms are very beautifully decorated and breakfast is a nice selection. Free parking and front staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely would return.

Stayed during my boyfriend's birthday weekend and went to Gilded for the first time. What a treat! The room was delightfully decorated and bed super comfortable (we normally use a king but the queen suited us just fine). the star of the stay was really the small plates breakfast. each day was different and had a variety of options- i even took home a recipe to use! Check in was a breeze and hotel was walkable to many areas of town. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location for Newport. Ample free car parking. Very warm welcome. Another Lark Hotel that makes you feel very relaxed. Room was lovely and quiet, with all the amenities needed. Breakfast was informal and delicious. Although coffee could’ve been better. Would recommend to stay if you’re in Newport for a few days.
