Located in the heart of Newport's Harbor Front district, Pelham Court is literally steps away from the best restaurants, night life, shopping, beaches, boating, tennis and fun that Newport has to offer. Newport has long been known as "America's First Resort", the summer playground for the rich and famous. Amidst the glamour that is Newport, situated on the first street in America with gas street lamps, lies the charming respite of Pelham Court Hotel. Constructed in 1870 as a carriage barn, Pelham Court's original building is listed on the national register of historic buildings. The building has undergone extensive renovation and conversion into 8 luxury one bedroom suites. A complimentary new building containing 2 one bedroom suites, 1 two bedroom suite and a large three bedroom suite has been added to form a private courtyard with the original historic building.
