The helpful Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau is between the Providence Convention Center and the Providence Place shopping mall.

 

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.
