The staff at Pelham Court Hotel has been dreading this day for quite some time now. PCH's Courtyard Fountain Lady is done for the winter. We will not again enjoy the serenity of her white noise until next spring.

Although the fountain maybe quieting down, downtown Newport is full of holiday hustle and bustle! Last night our guests enjoyed the annual lighting of the downtown Christmas tree. The glistening tree is located next to Newport’s only ice skating rink. Rumor has it the rink will be up and running in no time, amusing kids of all ages. The famous Newport Mansions are looking their best this time of year, appointed with the finest of Christmas decor. The spectacular site continues to be a family tradition among our winter guests. Downtown shops and restaurants are holding holiday promotions and sales to entertain both visitors and locals alike. To join in on the holiday cheer, we at Pelham Court Hotel are offering our valued guests a HUGE savings on winter bookings. 30% off 2+ nights is truly something to celebrate!
