The historic inn is one of only 25 properties in the U.S. to make the list.
WATCH HILL, R.I. – Watch Hill Inn, which opened this past summer as a newly-renovated, all-suite villa property of the famed Ocean House, was named to Conde Nast Traveler’s annual Gold List.
For this first time, the annual list was hand selected by Conde Nast Traveler’s own editors, writers and network of influencers. The 2015 list broke the winners down into categories based on the special touches the properties had to offer. The Inn was recognized in the “Sweet Rides” category, thanks to the availability of complimentary Mercedes-Benz vehicles for guest use through Ocean House’s involvement in the Mercedes-Benz Hotel Program.
Offering 19 suite-style accommodations, Watch Hill Inn is located just steps from Ocean House. Guests of the Inn have access to all of the resort’s amenities such as the OH! Spa, a private beach, five farm-to-table dining outlets and an array of daily resort activities. Located in the heart of Watch Hill village, the Inn, which is a seasonal property open Memorial Day through October, is situated amongst shops and restaurants, and offers stunning views of Little Narragansett Bay.
“To receive this honor, one of only 25 hotels in the United States to be selected by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the best hotels in the world, after only seven months since our re-opening is extremely gratifying,” said Daniel A. Hostettler, President & Group Managing Director of Ocean House Management, LLC. “As an Ocean House Villa Property, we wanted the Inn to have its own, unique personality but still deliver the five-star service that Ocean House has become known for both around the country and around the world, and we are proud of our team that accomplished this.”
Watch Hill Inn opened in 1845, but before its multi-million dollar renovations last year, it was operated as a condominium property. Watch Hill Inn is managed by Ocean House Management, LLC, operators of the Forbes Five Star and AAA Five Diamond Ocean House and Weekapaug Inn in Westerly, Rhode Island and is owned by Watch Hill Properties.
