Guest post: Lark Hotels’ The Attwater in Newport, RI opens Urban Beach House Suites and Grand Lark Suite

Author's note: As regular readers of this blog know, from time to time I'll share a press release that crossed my desk that isn't necessarily RV-related, but one I think you might find of interest. 

The bold color palette of the award-winning boutique hotel, The Attwater, has taken a casual, coastal turn at the hotel’s new Urban Beach House (UBH) opening May 1, 2014, right next door to the main hotel. The Attwater is one of the seven design-driven Lark Hotels located in New England’s most sought-after beach towns and coastal cities.

The Urban Beach House, with four suites and one guest room, brings the vibe of the beach to the heart of town. Outdoor style showers in the rooms, a sand lounge gathering spot for watching Newport roll by and kick-up-my-heels informality create the sizzle of the summer every day.

At the same time, in the main hotel, the grand new Lark Suite is being introduced.  The total number of suites and rooms available at The Attwater is now 17.

Award-winning Rachel Reider Interiors of Boston, whose creativity made waves when The Attwater opened in spring 2012, worked magic again on the new Urban Beach House and Lark Suite utilizing bold colors and fabrics, drift wood walls, modern furnishings and eclectic accents.  Rachel Reider’s designs assisted in The Attwater receiving a prestigious spot in the 2013 Conde Nast Traveler’s “Hot List”.

Nightly rates for Urban Beach House suites are from $199 to $489 King and $189-$469 Queen.  A third accommodation is the Queen Room with rates from $169 to $369. The 300-square-foot suite accommodations feature a custom-made padded headboard, LED smart TV and Tivoli radio in the bedrooms.  Living rooms afford a seating area for two, refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, coffee table, 40″ LED smart TV, and a new generation iPad.  Both have individually controlled AC and heat and complimentary wireless Internet access.

The new Lark Suite in the main hotel is from $179 to $589 nightly.  The Suite is the size of a small apartment at 670 square feet.  Located on the first floor, it offers a king bed, 40-inch LED smart TV, and gas fireplace in the bedroom, and a luxury bathroom with a double vanity sink, rain shower and soaking tub.  The living room features a pullout sofa bed, four-seat dining table, a dry bar with microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker and a 60-inch LED smart TV.  Other luxuries include an iPad for guest use, and a bar-top desk area. The Lark Suite has individually controlled AC and heat and complimentary wireless Internet access.

Deluxe amenities throughout The Attwater and Urban Beach House include designer linens, new generation iPads, Waffle Kimono robes, complimentary wireless Internet, beach bags and chairs and flat panel TVs.  Lifestyle brand vineyard vines®, the official outfitter for all Lark Hotels, provides coastal, chic attire for Attwater crew.

Guests share complimentary breakfast at The Attwater’s Café where fresh-baked pastries and beverages including fresh-roasted grinds are available throughout the day.

The Attwater is located within walking distance of Newport’s beaches, prime shopping and dining areas, as well as the destination’s famed Cliff Walk and mansion district.
