You’ll gain a sense of the lavish lifestyle from a bygone era as you drive along the famed Bellevue Avenue.
Marble House is one of the most opulent estates in America. Built by William K Vanderbilt in 1892, it features more than 500,000 square feet of white marble and was built as a ‘Temple of the Arts’. Enjoy exploring the public rooms and stroll around the grounds of the Chinese Tea House, perched on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Designed for Cornelius Vanderbilt II, ‘The Breakers’, described as one of the grandest Newport cottages, is an Italian Renaissance palace. It's most opulent and magnificent feature is the Grand Hall. The Music Room was originally constructed in France from beautifully carved stone and marble and re-assembled here. Large glass doors on the first floor open out onto a spectacular panoramic view of the cliff and ocean.
