Property info

The Artful Lodger Inn in Historic Newport Rhode Island was built circa 1850 one block from the Harbor, located in the Mansion District. It has been operating since 1992 after being meticulously restored by owners, Rory & Ric Ranucci. The Inn has ample off street parking and a Full breakfast is served in our Conservatory with stunning views of the Newport Harbor. The year 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of The Artful Lodger Inn and corresponded to the 205th anniversary of our “literary patron saint” Charles Dickens. The original owners (now retired) Rory&Ric Ranucci, both performing musicians, acquired the Inn in 1992, they embarked upon the project that continues to this day. Heidi Soares is our Innkeeper/Manager and Ron Smith is our Chef. They are eager to help our guests get the most of their time with us as they are planning their trip and after they arrive.
