Hi there! This past weekend my family and I celebrated my grandmother’s birthday in our favorite place, Newport Rhode Island.

Newport is hands down the destination closest to my heart. From generations and generations of family members visiting Newport during all of its beautiful seasons, and two siblings attending school there (and me coming really close to it lol) Newport is our home away from home.

One of the main reasons for our deep connection with the town is the Hotel Viking. My family, I have been staying there since before I can remember- long enough for the front desk to greet Sam & I by name when we arrived on Friday lol. We’ve seen the Hotel Viking in many stages from their original warm New England decor to their newly renovated modern design & loved every moment of both. From their tasty food at their restaurant, One Bellvue, to their friendly staff, & white fluffy spa robes, the Viking is a must if you are traveling to Newport.

We just got home & I am already looking forward to our next trip back! Want to see what we wore around Newport? Check out the blog post here!
