Hamilton Hoppin House
"4.8-rated historic Aquidneck estate with in-room soaking tubs in select rooms, full breakfast, and refined hospitality minutes from Newport."
About The Hotel
The Hamilton Hoppin House is a beautifully preserved historic estate in the Hamilton area of Middletown, just minutes from Newport’s Gilded Age mansions and Aquidneck Island’s beaches. The 4.8-rated property combines genuine architectural and historical character—each room is uniquely decorated and thoughtfully curated—with attentive, gracious hospitality. Select rooms feature in-room soaking tubs, and guests consistently praise the peaceful, refined atmosphere, the full breakfast, and the warm welcome from the hosts. The quiet, residential setting is ideal for couples seeking an escape that feels like staying in a historic home with a friend rather than checking into a hotel.
What Guests Are Saying
“We had a lovely stay at this beautiful mansion-like house! It was clean and comfortable and a step above most places we have stayed. We felt like we stepped back in time as we wandered the house! A few things to note: they have a great kitchen that is open to guests if you feel like cooking in; it is very close to Newport restaurants and shops; it is a contactless stay where you are given a code to come and go. We plan on staying here again next time we are in the area!” — sheilamk87, 5 stars
“Talk about experiencing a piece of history. New England is full of old, historical houses that you won’t find anywhere else and this is one of them. This place has an old soul that you’ll never find in the dull boxes commonly called hotels. The very design of this place is reminiscent of a time when house designs meant something, and the hosts/owners are exceptional at curating the experience. Don’t bother with anything less. Stay here and come back with a story worth telling.” — D P., 5 stars
“We rented this space to host a retreat. The place was decorated beautifully! Every room was a piece of art. Every person in our group enjoyed the stay. We will be back.” — Svetlana N., 5 stars

What guests are saying about Hamilton Hoppin House.
"My recent stay at the Hamilton Hoppin House in Rhode Island was absolutely incredible and exceeded all expectations! If you are looking for a unique and memorable getaway, I would highly recommend anyone to stay here. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted. It's such a breathtakingly historic building, a true gem from the Gilded Age, which was built in 1856 as a summer home for the Hamilton family. The house is in impeccable condition and beautifully decorated, making you feel as though you've stepped back in time the moment you walk through the door. Every room we saw had its own magical experience and unique character, blending historic charm with modern comfort. We stayed in a beautifully appointed suite that was both spacious and spotlessly clean, with luxurious bedding and all the amenities we needed for a restful stay. The quiet atmosphere and elegant surroundings made for the perfect tranquil retreat. The self-check-in process was seamless and easy, and the location in Middletown is fantastic, offering a quiet escape while being just a short drive from all the attractions, shops, and restaurants of downtown Newport. The beautiful grounds and shared common areas were a wonderful bonus, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the area. For anyone seeking a serene, historic, and truly one-of-a-kind experience, the Hamilton Hoppin House is the place. We cannot wait to return!"

There is plenty of parking, the grounds are beautiful and well kept, and the house was so beautifully decorated. Our room was nice and big and the bed had plenty of space for us. We stayed in the Gardiner Room. We had 2 nightstands and a dresser for plenty of drawer space. The tv was a tad small but I was glad to have one! It also allowed casting from streaming apps which I appreciated. The bathroom was clean and had lots of shelves for our things. The check in and out process was so easy. It was 10 minutes away from anything and everything we had planned. The neighborhood was great. I would definitely recommend staying here."
