Description

This Gift Certificate is good for a one night stay at Castle hill Inn and Dinner for two, as well as an afternoon tea and Gourmet Breakfast. The peninsula that is home to Castle Hill is located on the western-most tip of Newport, towards the southern edge of Aquidneck Island, just at the entrance of Narragansett Bay. It is this omniscient location, overseeing the East Passage and the Atlantic, that has secured its varied and notable history.Over the summer of 1956, Grace Kelly retreated to the solace of Castle Hill between takes of High Society, an American musical-comedy set in Newport. The film also starred Hollywood greats Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, who vie for Kelly’s socialite character amidst the glamour of the oceanfront mansions. When not relaxing in her Harbor House at Castle Hill, Kelly would sneak down the rocky landscape to the water’s edge. There, she would sun on the rocks, swim in the cove, and enjoy the solitude of her secluded shoreline, where autograph seekers couldn’t disturb her. The climb up, however, wasn’t nearly as fun; the staff soon built a staircase so she could reach her hideaway with ease. She spent so much time on the rocky enclave that Castle Hill staff and guests soon began referring to it exclusively as “Grace Kelly Beach.”

This is a Live Event Item.
