About This Location

Ocean House, nestled in the scenic village of Watch Hill within Westerly, Rhode Island, stands as a testament to the timeless allure of New England seaside resorts. Situated atop the slopes of Watch Hill, this grand establishment has witnessed the ebb and flow of time. While the original 1868 hotel had its doors closed in 2003 and was subsequently demolished in 2005, its legacy was resurrected in 2010. The new facility was reconstructed on the same hallowed grounds, bearing a striking resemblance to its predecessor. The sprawling Victorian architecture adorned with distinctive yellow siding, characteristic of both the original and the recreated structure, commands attention and admiration.

In the years since its grand re-opening, the Ocean House has garnered a reputation that transcends boundaries. Its exceptional services and facilities have not only won the hearts of its guests but also a slew of accolades. Notably, it is Rhode Island's sole hotel to be honored with both the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five-Star ratings. Moreover, the OH! Spa and the Coast restaurant within its confines have also received the Forbes Five-Star rating. This triumvirate of Five-Star recognitions places Ocean House in the elite league of thirteen global resorts that boast this honor.

For those seeking an unmatched nuptial experience, Ocean House Rhode Island has emerged as a coveted luxury wedding destination.

This combination of age-old elegance and renewed courtesy ensures that the hotel remains a preferred choice for discerning guests throughout the year.

Guests arriving at the Ocean House are met with valet parking. However, for those seeking alternative options, there's roadside parking available on Bay Street. Additionally, a public lot in proximity to the Watch Hill Yacht Club provides added convenience.
