NEWPORT, R.I. — Less than a week after a fire heav NEWPORT, R.I. — Less than a week after a fire heavily damaged Newport’s iconic Castle Hill Inn, the historic waterfront resort has announced a phased reopening plan, signaling a faster-than-expected path back to welcoming guests. Initially expected to remain closed for months, the inn will resume overnight stays at its Beach Houses and Beach Cottages beginning March 5. Until the main mansion reopens later this spring, operations will be based out of the Chalet, which was not affected by the fire. Guests staying overnight will receive meals and refreshments from the Chalet, including breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails with light bites. Room service will also be available throughout the day. The boutique spa, The Retreat at Castle Hill by Farmaesthetics, will temporarily relocate to the Chalet’s upper level, and evening transportation will be offered for guests dining in downtown Newport. All previously booked weddings will proceed as scheduled, according to the hotel. Event and wedding spaces are separate from the main building and will continue to be fully supported by the Chalet kitchen. Castle Hill Inn plans to reopen its restaurants and bars, including The Lawn Terrace and Aurelia at Castle Hill, by Memorial Day. Updates regarding the reopening of rooms and suites inside the Agassiz Mansion are expected in the coming weeks. Hotel officials said the fire was accidental and caused by a wood-burning fireplace. While some employees have been temporarily placed at other Newport Restaurant Group properties, the inn said efforts are underway to bring staff members back as quickly as possible. In a statement, the hotel thanked the community for its outpouring of support following the fire, calling it meaningful to both staff and guests affected by the incident. #castlehill #newportri #newportbuzz

The Gilded Age Orchestra of Newport will mark Amer The Gilded Age Orchestra of Newport will mark America’s upcoming semiquincentennial with a special program, “Celebrate America 250,” on Thursday, Feb. 26, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the grand ballroom of Rosecliff. Hosted by The Preservation Society of Newport County, the performance will feature the 30-piece professional Gilded Age Orchestra of Newport under the direction of conductors Christopher Brellochs and Mark Stickney. The evening’s program traces Newport’s musical heritage from the era of the American Revolution through the early 20th century, highlighting how the city’s cultural life evolved alongside the nation itself. Among the notable selections is the first musical work performed for the American Centennial in Newport, played in Washington Square on July 4, 1876. The concert will also include works by European composers who wrote music inspired by and celebrating America. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for a pre-concert reception, giving attendees time to gather before the performance begins in one of Newport’s most iconic Gilded Age settings. Rosecliff is located at 548 Bellevue Ave. Tickets and additional event details are available at NewportMansions.org/events. #newportmansions #newportbuzz #america250
