Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today the official
opening of a vibrant new boutique hotel, The Pell, a part of the JdV by Hyatt brand.
The property, which is managed by Highgate, is located on Rhode Island’s
historic Aquidneck Island, minutes from Newport and endless unique attractions
and activities. Unveiling the completion of a nine-million-dollar renovation
boasting a modern bohemian design, The Pell is a true reflection of the coastal
neighborhood in which it resides.
Located at 425 East Main Road, The Pell is less than two miles
from Sachuest Beach, Third Beach and Easton’s Beach in Newport, a popular
surfing spot. Newport Vineyards is less than a mile from the hotel, while
the historic Newport Mansions and Cliff Walk are under three miles
away. After a day exploring, guests can return from the hustle and
bustle of Newport and unwind at the hotel library or dine at the
hotel’s full-service restaurant, The Helmway.
“We are thrilled to
finally be introducing The Pell, which is the first JdV by Hyatt hotel in Rhode
Island, to the Newport market,” says Graham Jones, GRJ LLC co-founder of The
Pell. “We have put a lot of time, effort and love into this project and know
The Pell will have an enormous impact in both Newport and Middletown.”
Originally built in
1989, ownership engaged award-winning architecture and design firms A4
Architecture and Stoa Design Collective to transform all the guestrooms and
public spaces. Inspired by local surroundings and a true reflection of the
Middletown neighborhood, the hotel features a calming, neutral palate and
natural elements to complement the light-hearted, energetic atmosphere and
inviting spirit. Wicker and wooden touches bring the upscale coastal feel
indoors alongside modern, chic interiors.
The Pell offers 127
spacious guestrooms and suites featuring premium amenities and plush beds with
550-thread-count premium linens for a restored stay. Guests enjoy full
bathrooms with a marble vanity, tub and walk-in shower. Deluxe rooms and suites
feature a separate sitting area and two suites offer kitchenettes. Rooms are
equipped with a mini-refrigerator, 55-inch TV and complimentary high-speed
internet.
The hotel’s signature
restaurant, The Helmway, serves breakfast and dinner with tables and bar
seating and offers in-room dining for guests.
“The
menu reflects my passion for local, sustainably sourced high-quality
ingredients,” explains Executive Chef, Will Wallbank. “We work with local farms
and fisherman to deliver fresh options for guests and visitors of Aquidneck
Island.” The menu itself and cocktail list will change with the seasons.
Offering 1,250 square
feet of customizable meeting and event space, The Pell provides the perfect
setting to host an intimate wedding reception, pre- and post-wedding events, or
small business meetings for up to 40 guests. The property also has a business
center, exercise facility, and complimentary parking.
