Hotel Description
The Francis Malbone House is the epitome of elegance, located in the heart of Newport's Historic Harborfront.
The estate was built in 1760 for Colonel Francis Malbone who made his fortune as a shipping merchant. The design of the house is attributed to Peter Harrison, "America's First Architect", who is also responsible for the Touro Synagogue and the Redwood Library.
The Francis Malbone House has been lovingly maintained throughout the years, as evidenced by the painstaking restoration undertaken during the early 1970's. In 1996, a sensitively designed addition was added, allowing the inn to expand from nine to a total of eighteen luxurious guestrooms. In 2000, our most recent expansion was completed when we purchased and restored the Benjamin Mason House, a free standing colonial home, c. 1750. The Benjamin Mason House features a suite and a guestroom bringing our total number of rooms to twenty.
Treat yourself to a bit of colonial history by joining us, and we are confident that your first visit will be the first of many.
