The district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984, includes 900 acres and 112 buildings. The hotel combines two late-1800s structures-the original Hotel Washington and the Lederer Building-with European flair and New England charm.

Superior rooms include king or queen beds with luxury linens, while Junior Suites feature separate living areas with pull-out sofas. The Premier Suite has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the courtyard or Grace Episcopal Church, a kitchen, and a whirlpool tub.
Dining at Backstage
Backstage Kitchen + Bar serves American cuisine with local twists, open for breakfast on weekends and dinner daily. The menu includes dishes like a chuck-brisket-short rib burger and Belgian waffles. The restaurant overlooks Grace Park and is steps from the Providence Performing Arts Center and Trinity Repertory Company.
