The Hotel Providence - (401) 861-8000

We had spent the last week on our friends yacht down in Newport Harbor, and left there to see a bit of Providence before heading back home. My wife checked out City Search to find a nice hotel, and after checking out the reviews and prices, we chose the Hotel Providence and what a wonderful experience it has turned into. From the Front Desk Manager, Mat, to our Bellman, Brad, to our favorite bartender Ali, wow what wonderful service we have had the pleasure to enjoy. Please, if you want your own special place, check-in here and just say ahhhh... we sure did and I bet you will as well. Trust me, we love the Westin, and other big hotels, but this was "just right".

This boutique hotel is perfect if you are looking at spending a weekend in Providence, if you like the theater and the museums in the area. I loved that it is not part of a chain, and it shows because the service is so personalized. I still don't know how the front desk staff knew my name even if I hadn't seen them before. The rooms are incredibly clean and beautifully decorated, and the amenities are luxurious. They have Molton Brown toiletries, bathrobes, and when I asked for toothpaste it was brought to me within 2 minutes. L'Epicureo has amazing food and attentive service. I definitely recommend this hotel for everything it offers!

Having gone to college in Providence, my husband and I decided to take a weekend away before the summer ended and decided on Providence. We heard there was a new hotel (Hotel Providence) and cancelled another hotel reservation to give it a try. Overall, beautiful hotel, attentive service. Air conditioning did not work well. Restaurant for dinner was only decent with spotty service (after hearing rave reviews, we were disappointed). Hotel provides buffet breakfast for $16 pp. Aweful is our review, to be kind. Luckily my husband had arranged for the "romance package" which not only included breakfast but champagne, chocolates, and dinner the nigth before. Package was well worth it. Breakfast--we went else where after being "grossed out". We would definitely stay there again--friendly staff, beautiful decor--but would opt to dine elsewhere.
