One highlighted match, on Aug. 6, features the United States facing France. Rates for that weekend start at $249 per night for a Newport guestroom with two queen beds. To book, use booking code HVPOLO16 or call 401-847-3300.
“Polo is a social sporting event,” said Keith Chouinard, director of sales and marketing at Hotel Viking. “From divot stomping and meeting the players to sipping Champagne on the sidelines and petting the ponies, it’s no surprise millions of people enjoy this global sport each year.”
The Newport International Polo Series brings together teams from around the world and offers a lively spectator experience. Attendees can participate in divot stomping, browse vendor booths, meet fellow spectators, and relax on the grounds. Selected weekends include special events that run at an additional cost. Matches are held at Glen Farm; check the polo schedule for specific dates and details.
Hotel Viking features 208 guestrooms and suites and is conveniently located about 30 minutes from TF Green Airport and the Providence train station, making it an easy choice for visitors attending polo weekends and exploring Newport.
