Every suite at The Wellington offers a clear view of Newport Harbor from private porches.

Guests can take advantage of a four-night promotion, staying three nights and enjoying the fourth night free. Seasonal craft packages enable guests to enjoy local breweries and activities.
“Wellington Resort emphasizes space and privacy for families, with apartment-style suites that make longer stays easy; fully equipped kitchens and in-unit laundry add to the convenience. The location provides a peaceful setting near the water, yet it's still an easy walk to downtown Newport's attractions and restaurants. I think this is a solid pick for those seeking a relaxed, self-catered experience.”
