Jailhouse Inn
Situated just 1 block from Washington Square in Newport, Rhode Island city centre, this historic inn is a federal-style building that was once the Newport county jail and police station. Jailhouse Inn is within walking distance of restaurants, fine dining and entertainment. The White Horse Tavern, New England's oldest tavern and now a 5-star restaurant, is right across the street. The Cliff Walk, beaches and Ocean Drive are 2.3 km away. Built for the city in 1772, the Jailhouse Inn features a free continental breakfast every morning. Tea and fresh-baked cookies are served every afternoon for guests to enjoy while watching the bustling Marlborough Street.
