The Providence Biltmore, located in the heart of downtown Providence, Rhode Island, is a landmark hotel with an illustrious past. Designed by the celebrated firm Warren and Wetmore, the architects behind New York City’s Grand Central Station, the hotel debuted to widespread acclaim in 1922 and quickly became the tourist and social center of Providence. Today, deeply woven within the city’s fabric and culture and beloved by generations of guests, the Providence Biltmore is an authentic Providence tradition.
Offering superior personal attention and comfort, the Providence Biltmore appeals to both leisure and business travelers. Renowned for its world-class service standards, this iconic Providence hotel welcomes guests with friendly, knowledgeable, and professional staff, as well as numerous and generous amenities.
Guests will enjoy the hotel’s full-service spa (the only on-site hotel spa in the city of Providence), the McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood & Steaks restaurant and Starbucks located in the grand lobby, a fully equipped fitness center, valet parking, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Just steps away from the city’s most exclusive shopping and dining areas and conveniently located near the Rhode Island Convention & Entertainment Complex, the Providence Biltmore is the perfect vantage point from which guests can enjoy the many events and activities Providence has to offer.
Reserve your place in history and discover why the Providence Biltmore offers an experience like no other.
