A one-night stay at the historic Hotel Viking and a private behind-the-scenes tour for two of the newly restored Touro Synagogue (a National Trust Historic Site), complete with a glimpse into the renovation project of the new visitors center.   

        Dedicated in 1763, Touro Synagogue is the oldest synagogue in the United States and the only one which survives from the colonial era. The simple brick facade conceals a dramatic two-story Palladian interior. Designed by Peter Harrison, America's first professional architect, it skillfully combines classical Italian architecture with the functions of the Sephardic Jewish ritual. It is also a national symbol of civil liberty, having received George Washington's assurance in 1790 that the new nation would protect religious freedom for all faiths. This National Historic Site also includes an historic Jewish cemetery and a park honoring colonial Jewish leaders.

     Overlooking scenic Newport Harbor, the Hotel Viking is nestled in the Historic Hill district on famed Bellevue Avenue. Once the summering destination of America’s wealthiest, Newport opened the hotel in 1926 to accommodate their haute monde guests. A multi-million dollar restoration of the Georgian Colonial was completed in 2003, which included the renovation of the 222 guest rooms and suites, the lobby, ballroom and restaurant.
