Our stay at the Hilltop Inn was a gift to us from our children who had stayed here before. What a great gift. This gem was the perfect get-away. Everything about the Hilltop was perfect. Janet is a warm and welcoming innkeeper. Not only are her breakfasts homemade-delicious and served in the delightful sunroom, but also the daily afternoon tea... More

This is our 3rd stay at Hilltop inn. We always enjoy our stay here... Great room, attention to detail, goodies and tidbits in afternoon, great breakfast. We come here to relax and enjoy our time in our room as much as exploring Newport. We were dissapointed at first that we couldn't receive the 30% discount being offered weeks after we... More

I cannot say enough good things about this Inn. Janet is fantastic and the hospitality we were shown was astounding. The food is incredible. Our day started with awesome breakfasts then had great baked goods with afternoon tea and ends with snacks left out for the guests in the evening. The rooms are gorgeous and very well kept. This was... More

The Hilltop Inn made us feel as if we were wealthy homeowners rather than merely tourists. The inn was wonderful, with great breakfasts, tasty teas and an evening port when we returned home. The room was charming, with jacuzzi as well as shower. The bathroom even had a television set. We were well taken care of by Bianca who made... More

We arrived at the Hilltop Inn having driven through a raging blizzard to be greeted at the door by our warm and welcoming hostess with fresh baked cookies on the table and hot chocolate to warm our tired selves. A spacious room and fireplace coupled with delightful breakfasts and afternoon teas by a roaring fire made our visit perfect.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Everything about the Inn evokes a natural impulse to sit and be comfortable, to feel welcomed. Hilltop enjoys the best location in the city: at the outset of Bellevue Avenue, two blocks from the bustling wharves, historic Washington Square and artsy Broadway, the Inn stands proudly in a grand turn-of-the-century residential neighborhood. Hilltop is just down the street from the Tennis Hall of Fame, the Redwood Library and the Newport Art Museum. This is Newport at its heart. ... more   less
