Castle Hill Inn is a 40-acre waterfront estate on Ocean Drive in Newport, Rhode Island, overlooking Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic. Weddings use lawns, the Castle Hill Lighthouse, a sailcloth tent and indoor rooms, with alfresco celebrations of up to 250 guests.
Castle Hill Inn occupies about 40 acres of coastline at 590 Ocean Drive, Newport, where Narragansett Bay opens onto the Atlantic and the Castle Hill lighthouse stands nearby. The main building is a historic inn with fireplaces and candlelit rooms, which makes the estate workable outside high summer, while lantern-lit gardens and a custom sailcloth tent handle outdoor dining and dancing in warmer months.
Each couple works with a personal event planner from first enquiry through to the final dance. The inn can organise Newport activities for family and friends, including sailing on the bay, visits to the Gilded Age mansions and a traditional clambake. The restaurant, Aurelia at Castle Hill, adds an award-winning kitchen to the estate.
