The Admiral Farragut Inn



Almost 300 years old, this Nation Register inn housed 2 aides of General Washington. Sleep in a 4 poster bed surrounded by English period 18th century furniture and breakfast in the welcoming keeping room. 

Each of the guest rooms is fantastically different but they all share a combination of handmade and antique furnishings. There are Shaker-style four poster beds, painted armoires and imported English antiques, paned windows and authentic colonial cove moldings. 

A complimentary full breakfast is served in the keeping room. On rising, you'll find it spread upon the banquet board. Outside the front door, Newport's charms surround. The famed harbor, historic sites, mansions, shops, dining, and night life are all just a walk away. There is no better street in all the town to tell the tale of Newport than Clarke street. During the Revolution, General Rochambeau, head of French forces assisting General Washington, housed two of his aides-de-camp in our Colonial Inn. Here Governors, merchants and mariners lived side by side.
