The gracious Ocean Rose Inn lies at land's end, overlooking the Newport Harbor, Narragansett Bay and Jamestown Island. Framed by historic homes of the 19th century whaling captains and stately elm trees, the location on Ocean Road is an example of the enduring heritage of Narragansett. A landmark since 1903, the hotel's sprawling verandas are lined with rocking chairs that invite guests to behold sweeping views of the bay and yachts of Newport Harbor.

The Inn consists of three buildings. The main ocean front building has nine Victorian style rooms on the second and third floors with private baths, TV, air-conditioning, some rooms have fireplaces and private decks with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean. The restaurant, with panoramic views of the ocean, is located on the first floor and serves seafood and Italian cuisine. The ceiling in the back dining room of the restaurant is the original ceiling with 18 karat gold overlays. The wood paneling in the room is of zebra oak. In season the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and also caters to weddings, private parties and functions.
