We spent one night at this hotel, receiving a discounted rate from one of the 'hotel' sites out there (don't remember which one). The rate wasn't spectacular, but fairly competitive for hotels in the area - which are I suspect seasonally inflated. Our 'better' rate gave us a room in the original building over the entrance and right by the... More

We had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Viking for a beautiful destination wedding for a family member. It is stately and elegant, great location where we walked to town and I even had my hair done at a wonderful little salon just across the street. The staff was friendly and courteous and welcoming, starting with the valet. BUT....... More

In Newport for a wedding this weekend. Had seen The Viking many times from the outside and always wanted to stay there. Finally. A lovely hotel. Comfortable beds. The feel of the room was almost like old New York ; lovely armoire, comfy chair , big wood headboard. Comfortable. Bathroom modern---small but certainly big enough. Only complaint is due to... More

Unfortunately we only spent one night at this hotel. Fortunately, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely return. The bed could not have been more comfortable. The bathroom was tiny but the shower was lovely. The staff was great - especially the bartender who was so friendly and accommodating. My husband had a massage at the spa, and had... More

In town to plan for our daughter's wedding in Newport, we stayed overnight at the Viking Hotel. This was our second time staying at the hotel, and again we were more than pleased! Both last March 2012 and this April, we stayed at the Viking with a special rate we had received from an email. We had signed up to... More

We spent a Saturday night here recently and were very pleased that we chose it above many other options. The hotel has been restored with great taste and style and is truly elegant in its newer iteration. The service was wonderful, and the decor is at once modern and redolent of the history of Newport from an earlier time. The... More

This is a fine looking hotel and the staff are friendly. However, there are some things that you should be aware of. First, there is an unadvertised $32 nightly fee for parking. This is a flat fee whether you self park or utilize the valet services. You could try to park on the street but most of the spots are... More

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Viking. We stayed for a long weekend and we were very happy we chose the Viking - we hope to come back to try one of the suites! The check in process was easy and everyone was very professional and friendly. We booked one of the Manor Guestrooms with a... More

The best place to stay in Newport with extra amenities! Walking distance to the sites and the waterfront. You feel like you've gone back in time but with modern luxuries. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
