As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Rhode Island serves as the perfect launching point for exploration, especially if we feel like heading to New England or New York City. However, sometimes we just want to stay close to home. When you want to spend a few nights away from home but don’t want to travel too far, book a stay at Forty 1° North, the first LEED hotel in Newport, Rhode Island.
Wrap yourself in luxury at Forty 1° North in Newport, an elegant waterfront hotel that boasts sensational views just about everywhere you look. But that's not what makes it so unique.
This upscale property in Newport is the first LEED-certified hotel in Rhode Island. That means it's committed to offering an environmentally-friendly experience.
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and it's a global "green rating system."

From providing guests with iPads (instead of phone books and menus) in each room to using LED and CFL light bulbs, the hotel offers a full menu of environmentally-friendly amenities.
When booking your stay, you'll have to decide between a room or a suite with a water view or a city view. Several cottages and lofts are also available.
While you'll be close to Newport's delightful assortment of restaurants, you don't have to venture off the property for a scrumptious meal. Forty 1° North is home to two restaurants and four bars.
Toast your stay with a delicious meal at The Grill or Christie's, or relax with a tasty cocktail at The Oval Bar & Lounge, The Library, The Pavilion Bar, or Christie's Bar.
