Adele Turner is quietly tucked away on Newport's Historic Hill, just 2 blocks north of the harbor front. The perfect spot to enjoy all the convenience and historic charm of downtown Newport, without all the noise. Refined and yet relaxed hospitality, combined with nicely appointed rooms, have made the Adele a romantic getaway favorite with guests and the media alike. iLoveInns.Com, The Boston Globe, Weekends For Two, and Yankee Magazine among others, have all named the Inn one of their top romantic getaway destinations. For a little additional romantic spark, We offer several sensuous romance packages with combinations of champagne, artisan chocolates, and flowers.

Lovely place. Fantastic crew. Amazing breakfast. Folks there really took the edge off after a long ride up from NYC. Super clean, brand-new kitchen. Little things made the stay lovely. I would definitely return. Thanks Adele Turner! ...Sahil
