For some reason, I always seem to sleep well when I stay in a mansion or near the ocean. My Mediterranean Suite at The Chanler had not only 180-degree ocean views but a wonderfully comfortable bed outfitted with a down comforter and pillows and luxurious linens.

Small touches really made me feel at home in this Italianate hideaway. Classical music was softly emanating from the bedroom when I arrived. A bowl of fresh fruit was waiting for me in the sitting room. Stationery personalized with my name was also ready for my use. I was asked at check-in which newspaper I'd like to find outside my door in the morning.

The staff at The Chanler strives to customize each guest's Newport stay. If you'd like, your wet bar can be stocked to your specifications before you arrive. DVD movies can be borrowed from The Chanler's library free of charge—they're delivered to your room with truffled popcorn.

Want to shop, golf, play tennis, see a polo match, enjoy in-room spa treatments, or even elope while you're in Newport? All of the details can be arranged, and a chauffeured car is always on call.
