Little Rhody is a small state, but it has some of the most popular places to visit in all of New England. Newport was the most famous vacation spot for Americas super-rich in the early 20th century.

But Providence also has a lot of history from a time when its merchants got rich through the slave trade and other profitable businesses. Rhode Island has a long coastline with miles of beautiful beaches, a long industrial history, and a beautiful island. This is why Rhode Island should be on any New England itinerary.

It’s an easy feat, turning back time at the Ocean House—propped up on a magnificent bluff overlooking Little Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island’s historic Watch Hill neighborhood, the rambling, sunshine yellow Victorian structure recalls the days of the Grand Tour, when men of means would gallivant around the world, and the wealthy were lured from the city to the sea come summer. Though the porticoed property had 159 rooms when it opened in 1868, it ultimately fell into disrepair and was shuttered in 2003. But a $146 million facelift in 2010 left it shiny and new—and a lot roomier. It now has 49 rooms and 18 signature suites, all of which are breezy, bright, and pinstriped, capturing the beach-feel but still managing to feel luxurious. The bathrooms totter between old and new, featuring old-school black and white honeycomb tiles, sliding glass shower doors, and sweet white shutters that conceal the marble bathtubs from the bedroom. Take in the view from any of its mind-boggling 247 windows, or at the Seasons restaurant, where jazzy Sunday brunch is a popular way to wind down the weekend (raw bars and five-star fine dining usually are), or have an “a-ha!” moment at the OH! Spa—we’re certain the 2-hour ‘Coastal Escape’ exfoliation, expertly applied with dried orange people and argan oil, will do the trick.
