Rhode Island levies a sales tax of 7% on most purchases. You'll see two taxes on your hotel room bill: the 7% sales tax on the room, and a 6% hotel occupancy tax, which raises the philosophical question: if you pay for a hotel room but don't actually occupy it, should you pay the second tax? The two taxes together raise your hotel bill by 13%, so an "$89 room" ends up costing over $100. Go to the CVB's sophisticated website for event information, special travel package offers, and to request their printed Visitor Information packet. The database-driven Accommodations listings help if you're looking for the phone number or website of a hotel you already know. Providence
