Greetings & Welcome to
Admiral Sims' White House Bed and Breakfast
 Once
the home of Admiral William Sowden Sims, past
President of the Naval War College, this
gracious Victorian now functions as a lovely
"home away from home" for visitors while in
Newport. Its restored elegance allows you to
relive history and a time gone-by.....yet, just
minutes away, you're in the center of Newport's
many activities. With our private off-street
parking, you'll be free to discover fabulous
restaurants, shop for antiques, and enjoy
Newport's museums & waterfront. At the end of
each day, you'll retire to sleep soundly in
quiet relaxation.
Each room is named for a President and we pamper
every guest as a member of own First Family.
Wake to a big, hot breakfast served on the sun
porch or in the library. All our guest rooms
have either King or Queen beds - treated with
hypoallergenic treatment - with private baths.
Some have oversized claw foot tubs as well as
showers. Air conditioning, cable TV, and wi-fi
were certainly not standard when Admiral Sims
lived here, but are wonderfully convenient in
today's world! Meet other guests and enjoy the
peaceful, wide porches overlooking our one-acre
lawn...or hide away for intimate moments - we
won't let the White House press bother you.
We'll greet you in the "Diplomat's Reception
Room" where you can sample port or sherry and
relax with a snack from the basket. You're
welcome to play a game, put a piece in the
puzzle or just read the paper & let the world go
by.
 Admiral
Sims' White House is also a preferred lodging
for extended stays, business, and military or
government travelers. We offer weekly rental
options for a fully furnished apartment. We're
retired military ourselves and understand
perdiem (TDY / TAD) and the need for hominess.
Located at the "Top of the Hill" of Newport's
famed residential Historic Hill, with lovely
gardens and large shared and private spaces, we
are a favorite location for reunions, weddings,
meetings & more.
Whether you're traveling from abroad or across
state lines, rest assured you will receive all
the executive privileges afforded to our Foreign
Dignitaries. So when your thoughts turn to
enjoying the charm, beauty and history of
legendary Newport, let your thoughts also turn
to Admiral Sims' White House B&B, and allow us
to pamper you in a Presidential style all our
own. Stay at Admiral Sims for comfort,
relaxation, and the perfect "home away from
home" while in Newport.
"Thank you so much for your wonderful
hospitality, spacious accommodations, and delicious breakfasts! Taryn & Jay"
and "Staying here made a special birthday weekend even more special. Your
hospitality was great and our rooms couldn't have been nicer. We'll be Back.
Arleen"
