Castle Hill Inn in Newport Reopens After Fire
Guests are invited to book reservations for The Lawn Terrace and Aurelia at Castle Hill, some accommodations, and the mansion’s spa.
Castle Hill Inn is back in business after a fire wreaked havoc on the property in February. While the room renovations inside the inn will take more time to complete, the main level of the Agassiz Mansion is fully restored, including the lobby, The Lawn Terrace, The Terrace Bar, Mansion Bar and Aurelia at Castle Hill, which recently appointed chef Quentin Diez as chef de cuisine.
Guests are invited to book reservations for the restaurant and the mansion’s second floor spa, The Retreat at Castle Hill by Farmaesthetics. Room reservations are also available for one guest room within the Relais & Châteaux retreat, as well as for the inn’s alternative accommodations, including the Harbor House, Beach Cottages and Beach Houses.
Last week, Castle Hill Inn held a “Gathering of Gratitude” to honor the many individuals whose extraordinary efforts made it possible to reopen in time for Memorial Day Weekend. First responders, construction and business partners and the Castle Hill Inn team enjoyed food and drink together as a gesture of appreciation for all the effort and hard work put forth by teams to ensure safety and to restore and reopen the Newport landmark in time for Memorial Day weekend.
“It is an absolute delight to welcome guests back to Castle Hill Inn for the season,” says Brian Young, managing director of Castle Hill Inn. “The reopening of the Inn is a reflection of the extraordinary care and commitment shown by so many people — from first responders, construction crews, and city and state officials to our employee-owners and greater Newport community. We are profoundly grateful for their support throughout this process and honored to once again share Castle Hill with our guests.”
