The Hamptons is not the only perfect destination for New England lovers. We have discovered this small hotel in Newport (Rhode Island) which you will love. It is the Forty 1º North, the chicest option in the area. A small boutique hotel surrounded in a marine environment with only 28 rooms, just a few steps from the historical centre. Some of the rooms are very spacious, like a little house with a kitchen, and all of them are decorated in the dark range of colours typical of New England that can be seen in the foyer and common areas, bathed by the natural light that pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. With the windows open, the sea breeze from Newport harbour provides natural ventilation to the rooms. We also love the hotel’s little service efficiency details such as, for instance, the iPads in the rooms, where you can read the newspaper, get information on telephones, consult maps and see menus. Another pleasant surprise are the two restaurants at Forty 1º, offering extraordinarily varied cuisine for such a small boutique hotel.
