the ocean house in watch hill


The Ocean House is the last of the grand Victorian hotels, where life is still lived much as it was a century ago, a tranquil timetable of tides and sun, teatime and cocktails, sailing regattas and bonfires on the beach.

Perched high on the bluffs of Watch Hill, Rhode Island, the reopening of the Ocean House is a rebirth of the last iconic New England seaside resort. The Ocean House has been meticulously reconstructed to pay tribute to its storied past and offer exceptional personal experiences for guests, members and residents. The Ocean House's celebrated hotel and residential accommodations, uncompromising service, beachfront location, and world-class amenities pay homage to New England's golden age of hospitality with timeless elegance and renewed civility.

accommodations



The Ocean House offers 49 distinctive, impeccably appointed guestrooms and suites. The decor combines year round seaside sophistication with a mix of British Colonial and eclectic touches that create guestrooms and suites simultaneously comfortable and elegant. Master craftsmanship is evident at every turn; from the impeccably detailed architectural elements, to the imported hardwood floors and decorative bronze detail. Breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and seamlessly integrated state-of-the-art technology assist in creating a stylish, modern setting with the personality and charm of a turn-of-the-century escape.

Special room rates have been reserved for our workshop attendees. When scheduling your accommodations, please refer to the Collaborate and Create Workshop.
