According to the press release, the hotel will feature 57 rooms and four-stories.
It will be located at the corner of Long Wharf and America’s Cup Avenue.
The hotel will replace a two-story building which formerly house a Hooley store and the Corcoran, Peckham, Hayes, Leys & Olaynack PC Law Firm.
According to the press release, the hotel will feature architectural details that honor Newport's historic buildings, while its guestrooms and suites will provide modern comforts with a high level of luxury. A lounge, dining, and common area will be located on the first floor.
DiPrete Engineering provided engineering and surveying services and worked with the developers to secure permits for the project from the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC), the City of Newport and the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT).
The harbor front building will be raised above what is required in preparation for sea-level rise and parking spaces will be underneath the hotel on the ground level.
