The Chanler at Cliff Walk

Our only complaint was that we had to leave after three days. Our stay was fabulous and I am very hard to please!

This hotel far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—warm, genuine, and consistent throughout our stay. We spent more time at the property than we usually do because every dining experience was so memorable. The tasting menu at Cara was extraordinary—creative, delicious, with perfect service. Breakfast at Remy’s on the patio overlooking the water was another highlight, with attentive service that made it feel special. We also enjoyed evenings in the wine garden and a wonderful dinner at the bar, where Kevin kept the atmosphere lively and welcoming, even on a busy night. As guests, we always felt valued and cared for, which is rare these days. Our room was beautifully appointed with luxurious linens and every amenity we could want, making it as comfortable as it was elegant. The mansion setting on the Cliff Walk is stunning, but what truly sets this property apart is the combination of outstanding service and exceptional food and drink. It is a rare gem—beautiful, welcoming, and unforgettable.

he food and service at breakfast, lunch and dinner were first rate. They matched the food and service at other hotels like the Bristol in Paris and the Villa d'Este on Lake Como. We would come back for the food and service whether or not the Chanler was in Newport. The warmed meusli at breakfast was the best we've ever had and the tasting menu at the Cara was one of the best we've ever had.

The dining experience was great but the room for the price could be better. Bed was terribly hard. You would just sink into the sofa uncomfortably without support. Same with the bed bench. View from the balcony was terrible as 30% of was the buildings AC units. A few little details should be better for the $6.5k we paid for 3 nights.

One of our most enjoyable get away trips. A great walk around town with classic, off the boat lobster rolls and clams surrounded by the history and architecture of the Gilded Age. Classic New England.

This trip has been on my to do list for almost 20 years. I had never really visited any place in New England. Ostensibly, this trip was to attend the Newport, Jazz Festival. But it ended up being a respite in a magnificent setting for five days. there are many beautiful views along the cliff walk. The Chanler, however, seems to be set in the most optimal position. There are beautiful sunrises every morning from the Nantucket suite. There is the sound of the ocean washing against the shores that seems to speak to every person. there is a beautiful beach, just steps away from your front door. The level of service and quality of the Chanler is unparalleled. I have traveled and stayed at many five star accommodations. This certainly is among if not the most impressive that I’ve had the opportunity to experience. Far too often when we think of value, we simply think of “cost“. The Chandler is not inexpensive, but it is worth every penny and more. Superlatives are often thrown around in discriminately. The Chandler, however, is just simply magnificent. There’s not much more, I can say than that.
