I came across the website for Mill Street Inn a few years ago while reading the Design*Sponge city guide on Newport. The hotel clearly made an impression, and years later, while booking accommodations for our trip to Newport during one of the busiest weekends of the year in Newport (the America’s Cup was in town!), I was able to get a room at this charming inn, a former 19th century mill.

We loved every single aspect of our stay at Mill Street Inn – the juxtaposition of old & new throughout the building, the minimalist/modern feel of the room & bathroom, the delicious breakfast, the rooftop deck – it was all perfect! When we come back to Newport and we’re not shooting a wedding, we know that this will be the very place to bring Orvis, as the inn is dog friendly and the rooms are incredibly spacious.
