Valentine's Day in Newport

Learn about oysters, how they’re grown, and their local farms, and then sit back and enjoy a sampling paired with wine, beer, or a cocktail of your choosing.

Learn to make a Colonial-era cocktail inspired by the favorite libation of our founding fathers, a Gilded Age cocktail paying homage to the hotel’s namesake Alfred Vanderbilt, and a signature Vanderbilt cocktail that places its own unique spin on these classics.

Choose between Vinyasa, Restorative and Power Yoga sessions that will focus you mentally and condition you physically. The practice of yoga has far-reaching benefits, on its own or as part of a personal fitness plan.

Watch as our expert beverage team crafts a tower of vintage glass coupes at the bar and pop champagne to signal the start of weekend festivities at our Downtown Mansion.

Head to the reimagined sun-dappled Conservatory for an exciting coastal take on afternoon tea. Take in the hotel’s lush gardens from classic rattan armchairs within gleaming glass walls while sipping a selection of delicious teas.

Step into the Parlour and be transported to the era when artists and poets drank absinthe, the spirit whose mystery and allure remains to this day. Our Hidden Bar in the Parlour has been imagined as Lady Elsie Vanderbilt’s secret entertaining closet, in which she kept her treasured brass objects, menagerie and her favorite vice: absinthe.
