Road trip to Newport this winter for a spectacle of harbor views, and so much more. Browse our favorites, from can't miss festivals to museums, tours, dinner in igloos, and more. Stay three nights and receive your fourth night free over select dates year round.
The Bodhi Spa
Rejuvinate yourself this winter at the Bodhi Spa. This unique facility offers the art of detoxification through hot mineral baths, infrared and electric saunas, aromatherapy steams, cold plunges, and more!
Pop-Up Igloos
Just when you thought al fresco dining was over, igloo dining comes to the rescue, a trend we welcome with open arms (and steaming hot toddies). Reserve a cozy, decorated, and most importantly heated igloo by the water. The cold-weather dining experience will keep you warm, and somewhat outside, until spring.
Winter Sales
Find holiday gifts for the whole family steps from The Wellington on Thames Street and Bowen's Wharf. Plus, the annual Bowen's Wharf Winter Sale Days feature ten full days of post-holiday, Wharf-wide sales, with in-store events, restaurant promotions, and more.
The Sailing Museum
Home to the National Sailing Hall of Fame and America's Cup Hall of Fame, the Sailing Museum honors the legends of the sport and serves as inspiration for budding sailors of all ages. The interactive, educational exhibits allow visitors to experience the magic that happens when the wind and water meet.
Eat Well
Forget the world being our oyster, we prefer the world as our lobster–and Newport is the place to explore that world, we’re shore of it. After a long day shopping, cozy up to the firepit at White Horse Tavern for the best lobster mac this side of Manhattan.
Seal Watch and Rose Island Tours
One of our favorite ways to experience Newport in the colder season is with a visit to the Exploration Center and Aquarium in Newport. Save The Bay's seal watch tours and nature cruises begin in November—the perfect opportunity to experience local wildlife with your family. February is most active month for these migratory seals in Narragansett Bay!
Newport Winter Festival
February 14th - 23rd
The Newport Winter Festival returns with a full week of winter-themed events and fun. Cozy up to the ice bar for winter cocktails, gather around fire pits and roast s'mores, root on your favorite chefs in the chili cook-offs, and enjoy live music with the bay as your wonderful winter backdrop.
Seize The Stay
Once you're here, you're golden: enjoy simple pursuits and uninterrupted time with the ones you love most. We look forward to welcoming you to The Wellington.
