Gurney's Newport Resort & Marina
Contemporary coastal New England resort. The Dawson Design Associates redesign pulls in warmth, simplicity, and maritime art throughout — local artist commissions, hand-crafted textiles from New England weavers' guilds, soft palettes evoking the bay. Not stuffy or Gilded Age grand; this is a comfortable, well-resourced resort that treats the harbor as the main event.
The Newport Neighbors offer (New England residents) gets you 10% off plus complimentary parking — worth stacking if eligible
Why It Matters
It's the only resort on Goat Island, giving guests water on nearly every side — something no other Newport property can replicate. The island position means consistent water exposure across almost all 257 rooms. Add a working marina, five on-site dining venues, and the best pool deck views in Newport, and it occupies a category of its own in the market.
The only resort on Goat Island — a 10-acre island connected to Newport by a short causeway. Cross that bridge and you're genuinely cut off from the mainland, harbor opening on both sides, the Newport Bridge framing one view and the city's historic waterfront on the other. This is the former Gurney's Newport Resort & Marina, which itself was a reinvention of the old Hyatt Regency Newport. Since April 2024, it's been Newport Harbor Island Resort, fully rebuilt with a $50 million renovation by Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. 257 rooms and 18 suites, five dining venues, a full-service spa, and a 22-slip marina that can take boats up to 240 feet.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Accessible Room
Thoughtfully designed rooms with accessibility features, available in both water-view and resort-view orientations. Full resort amenities apply.
Premier Room
The entry-level room at the resort, overlooking the grounds rather than the water. Plush bedding, soothing coastal décor, and a dedicated work area. Smaller footprint but fully appointed — think of it as a base camp for exploring Newport rather than a room you'll be staring out of all day.
Premier Suite
The top of the stack at 1,320 sq ft. Detailed descriptions are limited on the official site, but at this scale you're getting the full resort suite experience with commanding views.
Suite
Starting at 642 sq ft, these are the rooms worth stretching the budget for. Large windows bring in Newport Bridge and Narragansett Bay views. Many are multi-level, some with two full bathrooms — marble tile, teak wood shower seats, great shower hardware. The bi-level suites with harbor and lighthouse views have drawn some of the most effusive guest reviews on the property.
Waterview Balcony or Patio Room
Same water views as the standard Waterview but with a private balcony or patio. The extra square footage shows, and waking up to coffee with harbor views from your own outdoor space is a notch above the standard floor.
Waterview Room
Oversized windows frame Narragansett Bay, Newport Bridge, the marina, or Newport Harbor depending on your exact placement. Luxurious bedding, coastal décor, and the kind of morning light over open water that makes it hard to leave.
