The Cliffside Inn
The Cliffside Inn
NEWPORT, RI
Located just off Newport's iconic Cliff Walk, the 16-room Cliffside Inn had good bones and a rich history, but its interiors called for a redesign.
Drawing inspiration from Beatrice Turner, the noted 20th-century artist who lived in this former stately mansion at various points from 1907-1948, the Reider + Co team created a sophisticated jewel-toned design that hints at her eclectic persona while also keeping with the time period.
Each room has a unique design, and a palette of deep green, blue, and eggplant hues contrasts with traditional shapes ranging from four-post beds to armoires and ornate side tables. Vibrant wallpapers and accents give the hotel a modern feel, ensuring that the new Cliffside will appeal to repeat guests and first-time visitors alike.
The redesign has been widely celebrated in the hospitality world, earning a Michelin Key and a coveted spot on Travel + Leisure’s It List of Best New Hotels in the World. The boutique property was also named one of USA Today’s Best Picks: Coastal New England Hotels and received a Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Award. Featured press includes Vogue, Forbes, Condé Nast Traveler, The Boston Globe, and Modern Luxury Interiors.
