Our Roof Deck venue here at The Vanderbilt is closed for the season. We hope you will join us when we reopen in the spring of 2024!

One of the best-kept secrets in all of Newport, The Roof Deck at the very top of the hotel is the perfect al fresco spot to watch the sunset and take in sweeping views of the historic city and port, offering a selection of fresh cocktails and light bites.

I lived the view! We went for sunset and it was cloudy. So we missed a beautiful sunset, but the view of the harbor and bridge was spectacular!

Great view of Newport! Drinks are good and food selection, while limited, was very good. Shrimp cocktail was surprisingly good with very large, flavorful shrimp. Oysters were fresh and tasty. Pimento cheese offering was a surprise and one if my wife's favorites. Reservations highly recommended to assure a table, especially on weekends. On sunny days, be sure to bring a hat and / or sunglasses as there is no shade on the rooftop.

The view was lovely. The food and drinks are very over priced and not very good. The plastic wine glasses were tacky and not very clean. Service was more in line with a quick service restaurant than the type of hotel the Vanderbilt purports to be.

Rooftop view at sunset is stunning! But service was slow - mostly because not a lot of staff upstairs. Waitress was nice though and apologetic when backed up. Food was okay and served on paper and wine was in plastic vs glass. Menu was limited, was hoping for more dinner style meals. Nice for drinks but not for dinner.

Good spot to have a few drinks with friends. I went with my boyfriend for after dinner drinks. The drinks were great. The rooftop was a little smaller than anticipated . But the view was very nice as you could see a little bit of everything-the water, boats, bridge and of course skyline . It’s behind Mary street parking lot so there’s an additional a view of that if you are sitting in the bar seats along the ledge . It was on a Sunday and very energetic with a dj playing mix of music across different generations -Which we enjoyed. It was super busy when we initially got there (730pm) leading to very slow service in the beginning -over 20 mins to get our first drink order taken and 20 minutes for those drinks to arrive. We’d go back again but at a less busy time.

It did not live up to the hotel brand. The hostess on the main level just pointed in the direction of the elevator instead of walking you to it or st least to the halfway of it. The hostess on the roof deck was not friendly. However our server was amazing. The food was fair and the presentation lack luster. The view was good as long as you look straight ahead and not down, otherwise you’re looking at a parking lot!
