Few things beat a long soak after a day on the Cliff Walk, especially when the room has a fireplace a few feet away. Newport has a handful of hotels and inns with a jetted tub right in the room, most of them historic mansions and B&Bs rather than big chains. Here are the best ones, what each tub setup is like, and what to confirm before you book.
Late fall and winter are the sweet spot for these rooms: rates drop, and most inns switch their fireplaces back on once summer ends.
In-Room Jacuzzi Hotels at a Glance
| Hotel | Area | Tub setup | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Chanler at Cliff Walk | Cliff Walk | Jetted tubs; private outdoor hot tubs in Ocean Villas | A splurge on the ocean |
| The Cliffside Inn | Near Cliff Walk | Whirlpool tubs, many by a fireplace | Romantic B&B stays |
| Francis Malbone House | Thames Street | About a dozen whirlpool rooms; double Jacuzzi suites | Walking to downtown |
| Beech Tree Inn | Newport | Jacuzzi + fireplace rooms and suites | Value, dogs and kids welcome |
| The Wynstone | Spring Street | Two-person Jacuzzi in every room | Privacy (five rooms) |

Best Hotels with a Jacuzzi in the Room
1. The Chanler at Cliff Walk — best splurge
117 Memorial Boulevard. The only hotel set right on the Cliff Walk, The Chanler builds a jetted tub into its Manor rooms; some have a separate jetted tub beside a multi-head shower, and one has a double jetted tub in a sun room. The Ocean Villas go further, with a private entrance, courtyard garden and a private outdoor hot tub facing the Atlantic.
Good to know: rates are among the highest in Newport, and the historic building has no elevator.

2. The Cliffside Inn — best romantic inn
2 Seaview Avenue. A restored 1876 Victorian a short walk from the Cliff Walk, with 16 individually designed rooms. Many pair a whirlpool tub with a gas fireplace, and the three cottage suites have the largest whirlpool baths on the property. Ask for an ocean-facing room if the view matters to you.
Good to know: the inn is geared to adults (no children under 13), and fireplaces are switched off in summer.

3. Francis Malbone House — best downtown location
392 Thames Street. This 1758 Georgian mansion sits across from the harbor, so you can walk to dinner and the wharves. Every room has a working gas fireplace, about a dozen add a whirlpool tub, and the suites have double Jacuzzis. The Counting House Suite has its own entrance. Breakfast is included and served in the dining room or the courtyard.

5. The Wynstone — best for privacy
232 Spring Street. Part of the Inns of Newport, The Wynstone has only five rooms, each with a two-person Jacuzzi, marble shower, fireplace and full breakfast. The tubs are big, around six feet long in several rooms. Check-in is handled at the group’s Clarke Street office.

6. Newport Beach Hotel & Suites — best near the beach
1 Wave Avenue, Middletown. Across the road from Easton’s Beach and near the start of the Cliff Walk, this hotel has an indoor pool with a hot tub and a rooftop deck hot tub. The hot tubs here are shared rather than in-room, though some guests report jetted tubs in larger suites, so ask when you book. It also takes pets.

Hotels with a Shared Hot Tub Instead
If a pool-side soak is enough, Hotel Viking on Bellevue Avenue has an indoor heated pool and hot tub, and the Newport Marriott on the harbor also has a hot tub. Both are easy walks to downtown. See our downtown Newport hotels guide for more options.
Tips Before You Book
- Book the room type, not the hotel. At most of these inns only certain rooms have a jetted tub. Confirm “whirlpool” or “jetted tub” in writing.
- Jacuzzi vs. hot tub. An in-room Jacuzzi is a jetted bathtub you fill yourself. A hot tub is usually shared and stays heated.
- Check fireplace season. Many inns shut fireplaces off from late spring to early fall.
- Go off-season. November through March brings lower rates, open fireplaces and easier availability.
- Kids and pets. Several inns are adults-oriented. Beech Tree and Newport Beach Hotel are the friendliest options for families and dogs; see our pet-friendly hotels guide.
