La Farge Perry House

Located at the top of Newport's posh Hill, The LaFarge Perry House has a perfect location. It is within walking distance to all of the major attractions, while it is far enough away from the active nightspots to provide a restful atmosphere for those that wish to relax. A full breakfast is served in our beautiful dining room where you are surrounded by scenes of Newport on a mural original to the house painted in 1900.
With handmade linens and 300 thread count sheets, our rooms have extraordinary comfort; many with small sitting areas and most have single or double jacuzzi bath tubs.
Our wish is to make the guest feel as if they were in "their own home away from home" for their stay. Our staff is available to answer any questions about our inn, Newport "hot spots"-for dining, dancing and live music.

    Our grand dining room features a table set for ten with two intimate bistro tables in the plentiful plant filled sunroom. 
The John La Farge room is named after the famous painter and stained glass maker who lived here while comissioned to do the stained glass of the Breakers. The spacious bathroom has a double jacuzzi adjacent to a reproduction of one of his windows.
    The Oliver Perry room with its handsome nautical ambiance has a king bed and working fireplace-a favorite to those who sail.
    The Master Suite is a stunner-the king bed and spacious room with fireplace also has a bathroom equal in size-complete with double Jacuzzi, his and her vanities, enormous closet space and small back bedroom.The Margaret La Farge room, located on the third floor is for the couple wanting seclusion and romance-complete with a double Jacuzzi in the bathroom.
    Our Innkeeper, Midge Knerr is a former restaurant chef with a pastry background. Mornings include homemade pastries and jams along with a full cooked to order breakfast-specailizing in Eggs Benedict on Sundays!The Matthew Perry room has an oriental theme as it is named after the explorer. The only room with a spectacular harbor view this room is spacious and features a small sitting area.
