A Weekend Retreat: Gurneys Newport, Rhode Island

A Weekend Retreat: Gurneys Newport, Rhode Island

The more I visit Newport, Rhode Island, the more I fall in love with the coastal city. The past three summers, I've found myself there for family vacations, weddings and bachelorette parties and always stayed at the same hotel on Goat Island, the Hyatt. It's the only hotel on the tiny island, has a pool and is walking distance to downtown.  The location alone is worth it's price tag.  However, this year Gurneys (yes, Hampton's icon) took over and gave it a $18 million dollar makeover.  The results were jaw dropping.
