Located in the Historic Hill's Gas Light district, in downtown Newport, Rhode Island, we are just one block from the waterfront, numerous restaurants and shops.

Built in the 1750's by Robert Brattle, the Brattle House has all the charm, warmth and comfort that a Colonial Newport Historic home can offer.

Your hosts, Barbara and Joe Tortolani look forward to welcoming you. Having Guests is more than a business, rather an opportunity to meet people from all over. We see every stranger as a friend not yet met.

The second floor bedrooms are spacious, private and charming. Included with our rooms are: Queen Canopy Beds, AC, a Full Complimentary Buffet Breakfast, cable TV, Fireplaces, Sitting Areas, Private Baths, Guest Parlor, Parking and access to Telephone, Refrigurator and cot for a child over 5 Years.

We offer two common areas, and elegant yet cozy living room and a delightfully cheerful breakfast room. Also, In-room Restorative Massages available. Offered by a licensed Newport Massage Therapist.

Please take the full The Brattle House tour to see all the romance and elegance that awaits you.


Please welcome the newest addition to The Brattle House - Rum Tum

He’s about 3½ and is very loving and sweet. Plus he has very good manners and stays up in our living quarters while those of our Guests who have allergies to cats are visiting.

We shall continue to remember and love our little Nutmeg.
