HOTEL PROVIDENCE, Providence – A Smart Stay in the City

Hotel Providence is located in the Downtown Providence Historic District, bordered by Washington, Westminster, Empire, and Weybosset streets. 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.

The hotel offers 80 guestrooms and 16 suites, each with climate control, flat-screen TVs, marble bathrooms, and mini-fridges. 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.

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.

Hotel Providence provides 5,500 square feet of event space, including the Tilden Thurber Ballroom for up to 200 guests. The rooftop terrace accommodates 150 for outdoor receptions. Full-service catering is available, with menus ranging from New England clam chowder to carving stations. Wedding packages include open bars, hors d'oeuvres, and specialty linens.

The hotel is 0.5 km from Providence Place Mall and Waterplace Park, and 1 km from the RISD Museum, which houses over 100,000 artworks. The Roger Williams Zoo, featuring Komodo dragons and African elephants, is a short drive away. Public transit includes Bus #7 to Central Station and the Green Line Tram.
