Francis Malbone House is an historic inn on the Newport, RI harborfront. Experience centuries of historic hospitality at our luxuriously appointed bed and breakfast. Newport's only Five Star Diamond Award-winning bed and breakfast, our boutique inn offers refined elegance and charm on famed Thames St. in the downtown waterfront district. Steeped in old-world authenticity and a quaint aesthetic dating back to the 1700's, our harborfront inn offers modern amenities to make you feel at home. Meticulously restored to its colonial splendor, our seaside accommodations include elegant rooms with fireplaces and three common living rooms. Enjoy a gourmet breakfast and afternoon tea in our glorious tranquil Courtyard away from the hustle and bustle of town. The hotel is suitable for guests aged 18 years and older. The historic nature of the hotel does not allow for additional bedding to be provided in any guest rooms, and facilities and design may not be suitable for children aged 13 and younger.
Francis Malbone House is located in the heart of Newport on famed Thames Street, the center of City by the Sea's bustling downtown area. The best restaurants and shops are only steps away, yet our stunning Courtyard and gardens provide a quiet retreat from a busy downtown area. The famous Newport mansions are minutes away, as well as Sunset Sails and tours of our spectacular waterfront!
