Wellington Resort
Newport, Rhode Island
Vacationing takes on a nautical flavor at The Wellington, situated right on the harbor in Newport. In addition to its superb location, the resort offers amenities, such as saunas, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, a health club, and clubhouse. There are fabulous mansions to tour, including Belcourt Castle, The Breakers, The Elms, and Rosecliff-the setting for The Great Gatsby-and historic sites are plentiful in the area. For recreation, water sports are the leading pastime. Newport also hosts a number of art galleries and crafts shops.
