About Vanderbilt Grace
Built by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt in 1909, the former Vanderbilt Hall is a quintessential Newport mansion that in recent years has been restored to its former glory. Today, as the Vanderbilt Grace, the mansion comprises a luxurious hotel with 33 rooms and suites, a sumptuous spa and fitness centre with indoor and outdoor pools and two restaurants including Muse, a new fine dining restaurant created by renowned New England chef, Jonathan Cartwright. As part of family-owned Grace Hotels, the Vanderbilt Grace combines unmatched heritage with a modern service ethos that has won Grace Hotels global critical acclaim and numerous hospitality awards.
Like so much of New England, Rhode Island is famed for its abundance of natural beauty and a culture rich with art and history as well as a vibrant social and sporting life. The island is a haven for sporting aficionados, with lawn and all-weather tennis, golf, polo and, of course, sailing, given Newport's long association with the America's Cup. Newport is famous for its Gilded Age mansions, the legacy of 12-metre yachting and its many music festivals, from jazz and folk to classical music. With its chic restaurants, boutiques, artist's galleries and markets, Newport is an excellent holiday destination. The dramatic coastline is punctuated by long sandy beaches, historic lighthouses, vineyards. From Vanderbilts to Astors, Dukes to Kennedys, Newport has remained a magnet for high society for over a hundred years.
