PB hotel design editorial

Few American resort towns carry their Gilded Age inheritance as self-consciously as Newport, Rhode Island, which makes the choice to convert a stately 1909 Colonial Revival building on Mary Street into The Vanderbilt — part of the Auberge Resorts Collection — a quietly knowing one. The four-storey red brick facade, with its white-painted portico, dormered roofline, and symmetrical fenestration, carries the measured authority of a private men's club rather than a grand hotel, and that register runs deliberately through every design decision inside. Roman and Williams Guild, the New York studio behind the interiors, worked in a palette anchored to deep navy and aged teal, pulling the forty-three rooms into an atmosphere closer to a well-appointed Newport cottage than a conventional hotel. Four-poster beds in darkened walnut sit against grid-patterned wallcoverings in midnight blue, flanked by marble-topped nightstands and tortoiseshell ceramic lamps; built-in cabinetry in celadon sage keeps the hardware in brushed brass. The dining room pushes darker still — indigo lacquered panelling, scrolled mahogany restaurant chairs, a curved brass-railed bar, and mounted fauna lending the space a faintly theatrical hunting-lodge atmosphere. Against that, the conservatory room offers a full tonal reversal: white-painted brick, trailing Boston ferns suspended from the ceiling, black-and-white chequerboard floors, and green velvet banquettes opening onto the garden through walls of steel-framed glass.

About

Inspired by the insatiable wanderlust and rebellious spirit of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, the historic downtown mansion once owned by the businessman and scion has been reinterpreted for the modern era as a lively and stylish social destination. From a secret bar tucked into a corner of the sumptuous Doris Duke-inspired parlor to the specially-commissioned series of mysterious and moody old world still lifes sprinkled throughout the foyer and lounge, the scene at The Vanderbilt is crackling with coastal curiosities and alluring eccentricities waiting to be discovered.

"My stay at the Vanderbilt in Newport was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the level of service was exceptional — every detail was thoughtfully handled and we were made to feel completely taken care of. The staff treated us like royalty, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The room was beautiful and impeccably designed, blending historic charm with modern comfort. The décor throughout the property is stunning and perfectly captures the elegance and grandeur you’d expect from such an iconic mansion. Dinner on site was equally impressive — the food, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding. It felt like a full experience, not just a meal. It’s rare to find a place where every element — the accommodations, the service, the setting, and the dining — is executed so flawlessly. I’ve never felt so welcomed and cared for during a stay. I cannot recommend it highly enough and can’t wait to return."

"My wife and I traveled to Newport for a long weekend to enjoy some spa services and relax. The Vanderbilt's service is top tier. Every member of their staff that we had an interaction with was extremely pleasant and professional. We felt like we did not need to lift a finger. They were extremely responsive in catering to all of our requests. We will certainly be back."
