Watch Hill has fewer than a half-dozen inns and guest houses. The only hotel is the town's centerpiece, the recently-restored Ocean House, a grand Victorian palace on the most prominent hilltop. Ocean House opened in 1868 to accommodate well-to-do city-dwellers intent on enjoying the cooling sea breezes, spectacular ocean views, and well-structured society events of a top-class Victorian resort hotel. In 2003, long past its prime, dilapidated, and in danger of going up in smoke, it closed—some feared for good. In 2010 a brand-new Ocean House (1 Bluff Avenue, tel 401-584-7000), modeled on the historic structure but entirely up-to-date, opened with 49 guest rooms and 23 residences. Its maze of balconies and porches, sunny and shady, again offers spectacular views and the exhilaration of sea breezes. For other hotels in Rhode Island, use this handy... Hotel Search Box:
