Newports Castle Hill Inn

The Lawn at Castle Hill Inn
is the perfect classic New England al fresco dining
experience.  The rolling Lawn really is a timeless Newport
icon.  The little rock beach below the Inn has been named the Grace Kelly Beach.  
Over the summer of 1956, Grace Kelly retreated to the solace of Castle Hill between takes of High Society, an American musical-comedy set in Newport. The film also starred Hollywood greats Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, who vie for Kelly’s socialite character amidst the glamour of the oceanfront mansions. When not relaxing in her Harbor House at Castle Hill, Kelly would sneak down the rocky landscape to the water’s edge.  
The staff ended up building her a staircase to make it a little
easier for her to climb up and down.  David came with me on our day trip on Friday.  
It was an "embarrassment of riches" as David would say.
