“Island House Newport represents a new level of accommodation for the city. We designed and built it with an intimate understanding of what makes Newport exceptional,” said John Marshall, owner of Marshall Properties. He added that partnering with Main Street Hospitality allowed them to bring a clear vision to life, marrying thoughtful design with attentive service.
Situated at 37 Memorial Boulevard, the hotel sits close to the harbor, nearby beaches and the famed Bellevue Avenue. It is also within easy reach of the Cliff Walk, which traces the coastline and offers sweeping views of Newport’s historic mansions and landscaped grounds.

Guest accommodations are designed with a palette inspired by the sea and emphasize natural light and comfortable, contemporary finishes. Premier rooms include kitchenettes for added convenience, while the Grand Suite provides a king bed, a private bedroom sofa bed, two televisions, a full bathroom and a complete kitchen. Penthouse suites expand on that layout with two bedrooms, a full and a half bath, a sofa bed, a full kitchen and a spacious living-dining area suitable for families or longer stays.
“At Main Street, we are dedicated to creating meaningful stays, and Island House Newport is a stunning addition to our growing collection,” said Sarah Eustis, CEO of Main Street Hospitality. “The partnership with Marshall Properties made perfect sense—both of our companies are multigenerational businesses deeply committed to the communities we serve. This property perfectly embodies our ethos: thoughtful service in a setting that celebrates both design and local character.”
With its emphasis on flexible room configurations, coastal-inspired interiors and a location that puts Newport’s most popular attractions within easy reach, Island House Newport aims to appeal to leisure travelers, families and those seeking an elevated stay that still feels rooted in the local landscape and community.
