Character and identity
Hammetts sits on Newport's waterfront, with Bowen's and Bannister's Wharves on one side and the bars and restaurants of Thames Street on the other. Opened in 2020 by The Peregrine Group, the 84-room property trades Newport's gilded-age clichés for something cleaner: contemporary architecture, an industrial frame softened by Italian linens, rainfall showers, and oversized windows pulled toward the harbor. The mood reads yacht-club modern rather than colonial inn. Giusto, the partner restaurant from Rhode Island chef Kevin O'Donnell, anchors the food programme with coastal Italian cooking and a $55 Freestyle Tasting Menu. Service is low-key, local, and easy.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-minded couples, weekenders from Boston and New York, and yachting types who want to be in the middle of Newport's action with a modern room above it. Groups and families do well in the Maritime Suite, which functions as an apartment and can adjoin a second bedroom. Strong pick if Giusto is part of the draw.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers chasing Newport's historic, mansion-era atmosphere or a quiet, secluded coastal retreat. Peak-summer crowds on Thames Street can feel relentless, and anyone wanting a full resort programme (spa, pools, kids' club) won't find it here.
Bottom line
The reason to book is location plus cooking: a modern harbor-front room steps from Thames Street, with one of Newport's most reliable Italian kitchens attached. Spend up for a water-view room or the Maritime Suite if you're travelling with family, and aim for shoulder season (late spring or September) if you want the setting without the high-summer crush.
