Overnight for Two at Hotel Viking in Newport, RI
Experience the luxury and refinement of old New England at the Hotel Viking, a welcoming retreat in Newport's Historic Hill neighborhood. Built in 1926, the distinguished red brick building hotel has become a national treasure, recognized among the prestigious Historic Hotels of America and soon emerged as a hotbed for celebrity spotting--from Will Rogers to Ella Fitzgerald to John and Jackie Kennedy. To this day, classic Georgian and Queen Anne furnishings create a graceful ambiance throughout the hotel. And you'll enjoy a respite of true lodging comforts--including our famous "Newport Bed".
