November is a special time of year. Not only do we start moving into the holiday season, but we also still get to enjoy amazing fall weather. It's the best of both worlds! Our November events reflect this transition perfectly-we have a train ride and musical performance that both celebrate the holidays as well as fun outdoor activities that take advantage of the fall weather.

 

When traveling to Rhode Island this November, or any time, it can be tough choosing which of the many charming hotels, inns, and B&Bs will be your home away from home. But only one was voted the #1 hotel in the Northeast in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards: The Vanderbilt, Auberge Resorts Collection in Newport. Harkening back to the opulent Gilded Age, this meticulous resort will make you feel just like the namesake family. Visit our Press Page to learn more about this and other stories waiting to be told.
