The hotel

The Viking opened its doors to the public in the roaring 20s and has since played host to a multitude of guests, including famous dignitaries and celebrities. You’ll feel pretty special too from the moment you arrive, revelling in its unique blend of style, comfort and modern amenities. There’s an indoor pool to splash about in or head to SpaFjor where exotic Balinese Spa experiences and Thai body rituals are combined to banish everyday cares. The Top of Newport Bar is a great spot to enjoy a cocktail – Peachy Keen anyone, or a Sailor’s Delight? You can accompany it with the ever popular Lobsta’ Roll or a selection of fresh oysters, shrimps and clams. For more delightful eats but this time in a more formal setting, head to One Bellevue – the Garden Patio is much sought after in the warmer months with coveted views of world-famous Bellevue Avenue.

Hotel Viking has always been a special place for my husband and I, as we were married there on 12/31/2013. With that being said we finally had a date day and decided to head to the roof top bar. We ordered two margaritas which were delicious followed by the charcuterie board. We waited over an hour for our board and it was not busy and asked the bartender who indicated he would check. When he came out with the board he indicated “they usually bring it to me, but I guess not today” The meats were warm and looked to the equivalent of a deli meat. The olives were literally from the large olive jar which we could see in the service bar fridge in front of us. We did tell the bartender the board was un acceptable and he simply took a picture and said he would inform the chef which is apparently new. This is not the standard of food and or service we expect from the Viking and are extremely disappointed with the entire experience. Disgusted is an understatement! Read less

Great hotel with a wonderful location, just a half mile walk down to the wharf. The hotel having special features every night was fun, especially the s'mores! The rooftop bar is not to be missed either for beautiful views and great cocktails.

I have been visiting the Viking Hotel for years and utilizing the services at the spa. After this years visit, I will be finding another hotel to stay at when I visit Newport. Even a request for a robe (which they advertise as ‘available upon request’) was too much to ask for. Front desk staff was unaccommodating from check in to check out and… Read more

Stayed in a King room for 2 nights. The hotel and grounds were well maintained. Gorgeous view from the rooftop lounge. All of the staff were excellent. Roy the concierge was fantastic and a great help to us. I would recommend this hotel and will be returning in the future.

Was in town for a wedding. The service was Excellent, all the staff were friendly and accommodating and Roy, the Concierge, was very helpful. When we go to Newport again we would definitely stay there.
