Neptune

The time has come. The kids are back at school. Earn yourself a semester’s worth of brownie points with a trip to Providence (and an excellent excuse for a couple of nights in a plush hotel bed). Nestled in the heart of downtown, Neptune is just a 15-minute walk from College Hill, and close to all the best restaurants, including our very own Mémères.

Neptune is for lovers and loners, strangers and friends. A storied hotel full of secrets, with plenty of room for yours too.
