True love isn't that hard to find. Romance, however, often eludes couples once they're caught in the swirl of careers, commutes, children, charity events, cell phone calls and endless commitments. When you do take time out for the two of you, where can you go to feel soothed, spoiled and sequestered from the world?

The Chanler at Cliff Walk is a historic, intimate and luxurious inn overlooking the ocean in Newport, Rhode Island, where all of your romantic dreams will spring to life, whether you crave the seclusion of a seaside villa with 24-hour room service or a stimulating day of sightseeing, shopping and sailing before settling into your dramatic, Gothic-inspired bedchamber.

Come along with me on this photo tour, and I'll introduce you to the charms of The Chanler. A stay at this boutique inn is a bit of a splurge for most, but as you'll see, the fine dining, luxurious amenities, superb service and unique ambiance you'll find here all add up to a worthwhile investment in something you were fortunate to find and should always nurture--true love.
