Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
Born in 1868, and then reborn in 2010, the Ocean House crowns a bluff that slopes gently down to an inviting curve of private beach in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. The hotel presents a faithful re-creation of the Gilded Age original, with the same sunny yellow clapboard exterior, black shutters, wide verandas, and soaring mansard roof. Along with the considerable appeal of an earlier age at the shore, the hotel indulges guests in every comfort and convenience of today’s first-class hotels.
The attentive staff ensures that business gatherings meet every item on the agenda. Experienced professionals handle all the details, from planning, catering, and accommodations to scheduling golf tournaments, fishing trips, team-building events, and motivational speakers. The venues total 10,000 square feet, including a versatile ballroom and boardrooms for more sequestered sessions. A gracious prefunction area, oceanfront bar and terrace, and direct access to the South Lawn and a putting green expand on the possibilities.
Delegates adjourn to a choice of 63 elegant guest rooms and suites. They dine on sophisticated farm-to-table cuisine at Seasons, grill classics at Dune Cottage, and eclectic menus for room service, in the Living Room, and on the Verandah and Seaside Terrace. Some guests spend every spare moment at the 12,000-square-foot destination spa, an ultimate haven for pure indulgence, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

Great venue for high-level meetings/events. Location is stunning any time of year. Staff, service and food all outstanding. I've hosted two programs so far and my group wants to make Ocean House their "home", they feel there is no need to look any further as we have found the perfect venue in Ocean House.
Overall Rating: 4.6/5

Ocean House is a spectacular hotel – the location, the attention to detail, high quality of the building and its furnishings, and all of the gracious and hospitable touches provide the ideal setting for an important meeting or event. However, all of this pales in comparison to the staff who work with you and support you from the moment you make the inquiry to the moment your last guest departs – it is clear they are hand-picked for their competence, professionalism, efficiency, but most of all their graciousness and warmth. I would never hesitate to recommend Ocean House for a meeting or event – it is truly a gem.
