Help Newport Hotel Win USA Today Reader's Choice Award

Gilded, a new 17-room boutique hotel in Newport, is in the running for a reader’s choice award from USA Today.

The hotel needs lots of votes to land in the top spot, so to throw your support behind the local establishment, click HERE and vote away.

In the USA Today writeup, Gilded is described as using “styles of the Gilded Age, like Rococo and Beaux Arts, and gives them a bold and quirky twist. Gold accents and ornate decor pair with a daring jewel tone palette for a uniquely Newport experience. Guests can play mixologist at the BYOB mixer bar, stocked with mixers and modifiers, or play a game of billiards on a velvet pool table.”

Gilded’s name is a tip of the hat to Newport’s Gilded Age legacy, though it comes with a lot more color. Think technicolor.

The hotel opened on May 8 at the former home of the Brinley Victorian Inn and was desgined by Rachel Reider Interiors of Boston.

Polls close Dec. 7 at noon. Readers can vote once per day.
