THE DEAN HOTEL – Seaside Exploring

The Dean is the local hero.

Ever since The Dean was established as a mission house, it sought to welcome.

The Dean is a beacon of culture and art. In the heart of a quintessential New England town, The Dean is both a popular local hangout and a best-kept secret for travelers.

One knows that to love The Dean is to love Providence and its multitudes. Providence is one of the many places worth visiting in the area. There is something unique about every seaside town, and it is well worth exploring. Here are some of our other favorites in the area:

Newport

Since Newport was established in 1639, it has become one of the five most important ports of the region. During the Gilded Age, many grand Summer mansions were built there—and many of them are still open and worth a leisurely visit today. In recent years, Newport has become a lively destination for all ages and a host to a music festival, the Newport Jazz Festival, where artists like Tony Bennett and Billie Holiday have performed.

Narrangasset

Known for its eponymous elixir, Ganset beer, Narrangasset bears the marks of settlements that date back 30,000 years. The name itself is Native American in origin. Long boardwalks, charming seafood restaurants, and lively concessions make it one of the region’s most popular beach destinations.

Bristol

In addition to its lively downtown, Bristol offers panoramic beach views. Bristol also hosts the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country, making it the most patriotic of all New England seaside towns. Bristol is a deep seaport town and the county seat, but its most valuable treasures are its small eateries, especially in Harbourside. This is all just a 20-minute drive from The Dean.
