About this property

The year-round sailing capital of the world, Newport Playground!

Wyndham Long Wharf — close to the waterfront and central to all the fun — enhances your Newport vacation with a wide variety of resort amenities and activities. This warm, friendly resort combines the perfect location with great amenities and is just a few minutes' drive from the area's top attractions.



Experience the city's reputation as "sailing capital of the world" for yourself — take a leisurely sailing tour of Newport Harbor and maybe even a lesson. Thames Street offers great shopping with a split personality: national brands in Upper Thames; more eclectic shops in Lower Thames. Any time you visit the "City by the Sea," there's bound to be a music festival (from folk and pop to jazz and chamber music) or themed celebration — starting with the Newport Winter Festival, Spring Boat Show, Great Chowder Cook-Off, Black Ships Festival and more, closing with Oktoberfest and the Annual Christmas in Newport, when the mansions are decorated for the holidays.



The resort assigns the specific unit around the time of check-in so your view may vary. Let us know if you have a preference to be near a specific location throughout the resort or if you would like a specific view. We will gladly notate your preference and send this over to the resort as your stay gets closer. Please notate that requests are not guaranteed.

Perfect location, easy walk to Bowens and upper Thames, but quiet and tucked away. Room was clean and staff are accommodating. Our rental included parking for 1 car, but overnight street parking was free. Giovanna was very helpful and check in. Great stay!

Newport Wyndham Long Wharf

Wonderful stay! Very clean and comfortable. This resort is centrally located--a perfect location for a stay in Newport. My only critique is the parking. We booked a room for 6 people and were only allowed to park one vehicle with no options for additional cars. We had to scramble for parking as we were there for a family wedding and had 3 vehicles. Keep this in mind when booking this property. This was the reason for 4 overall stars.

My family of 6 stayed here: 2 adults, 4 children from ages 2 years to 6 years. Our apartment had a lower (2 twin beds and 1 bathroom) and upper (1 king bed, kitchen, lvr, dr) floor. We were not provided a portable crib or safety gates (for stairs) in our apartment. We did not call to request any because we decided to make it work without these items. I wonder if they would've had these items available had we requested them. We also did not have a standing stool for smaller children to use to reach the sink taps. The pools at the hotel are each 3 to 5ft deep - there is no wading pool for kids only and for kids who do not know how to swim. We ended up not risking it to use the pools with our kids. The location is in very close proximity to the center of attractions.

Had a great time at this facility, and will try to be back there whenever we go to Newport. It had everything we wanted in a modern facility with amenities. Location: The property is located right across the street from Newport Shipyard. On the other side is the Newport Transportation Center, with a free on/off trolley around town to help you get a feel for the town, as well as transport to PVD, etc. It is less than .5 mile to Brick Alley area and Thames Street is walkable from it. Amenities: Free parking for one car is really nice. Baggage carts to haul your stuff to your room. Good elevators. A small movie theatre showing three movies a day! Pool, hot tub, lots of grills outside. Good elevator access. Fitness room on 2nd floor isn't huge but has the basics. We had a nice laundry room down the hall on 3rd floor, which was easy to use.Room: We were in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit, which turned out to be the accessible room. As a result the king bed bathroom was huge, with a walk in shower. Living room in the middle, with one bedroom either side. Before I got there I didn't exactly know what the kitchen would have, but having 2 generations there, I was very pleased. Real coffee maker (no pods) so you can BYO favorite grounds if you want, and they provided filters and packets of coffee. Blender, a few pots and pans, 8 sets of dishes, cutlery, lots of glasses, full size oven/stove/refrigerator! In short, you can't go wrong with staying here!
