The Chanler at Cliff Walk and the Francis Malbone House have been ranked among the best bed and breakfasts in the country by U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 Best Bed & Breakfasts rankings.
This year’s list showcases over 350 bed-and-breakfasts, inns, and small hotels across 17 U.S. destinations.
“Bed-and-breakfasts offer local immersion, providing travelers with the personal connection they often crave,” said Zach Watson, senior travel editor at U.S. News. “The 2025 Best Bed & Breakfasts rankings celebrate local establishments where hosts are unofficial guides, breakfast conversations reveal hidden gems and top properties play a part in each community’s story.”
The rankings consider star ratings, expert opinions, and guest reviews from respected travel publications and online platforms.
The Chanler at Cliff Walk is known for its ocean views and personalized service, while the Francis Malbone House, built in 1760, sits right in the heart of downtown Newport.
Now in its fourth year, the U.S. News rankings have become a go-to resource for travelers looking for unique, high-quality places to stay across the country.
