Newport Marriott
25 America's Cup Blvd., Newport, RI
We return to the Newport Marriott, the site of our conference last year. The Marriott was impressively renovated in 2015, with all new sleeping rooms, meeting rooms, restaurant and atrium. And now it's undergone another $9 million renovation just in time for our conference! It's strategically located within easy walking distance of the shopping and restaurant district in downtown Newport.
CONFERENCE BLOCK ENDED AUG. 24
OTHER HOTEL OPTIONS
We have 125 rooms in our conference room block, at discounted rates. But you have many hotel options per Orbitz/Expedia to book for overnight guest rooms, once our block ended. As always, rates shown on Orbitz below are “dynamic” as of Tues., Aug. 25; and you may find different rates than shown. Rates are nightly rates shown for Sep 14 and include tax and fees. Generally the further you book away from the city center, the less expensive the rates. The best rates may be found in neighboring Middletown, RI. There are also some good B&B options in Newport.
Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina $404 (0.4 mi. away)
Hotel Viking $509 (0.5 mi. away)
Hammetts Hotel $707 (0.5 mi. away)
The Brenton Hotel $855 (adjacent)
Newport Beach Hotel $327 (2.2 mi. away)
Newport Harbor Island Resort $793 (on Goat Island 0.6 mi. away)
Newport Marriott $684 (non-conference rate)
Wyndham Newport Hotel $244 (2.8 mi. away in Middletown)
Days Inn Middletown $182 (3.8 mi. away in Middletown)
PARKING
We've had some questions about parking. There is no free parking in Newport that we know of. The Marriott charges $40 per day for valet parking (but $25 if you booked through the conference). The nearby Gateway Visitor's Center has a public parking garage, next to the hotel, that maxes out at $24.50 per day, which is a marginally less expensive option. For Gateway parking information, please see here. As noted previously, if you're staying at a nearby hotel and don't want to walk to the Marriott, taking Uber/Lyft may be less expensive than the non-guest rate at the Marriott.

Newport Harbor & Marina just below Newport Marriott (0.2 Mi. away). Hotel Viking off to the right, half a mile away. Newport Harbor is best for walking to Marriott. The Gurney's on Goat Island is now called Newport Harbor Island Resort. The Brenton is right next door to the Marriott (not shown on map). Others within long walking distance, or a short ride with parking.
