Executive Summary
Nestled in the corner of Newport Harbor, the Wellington Resort presents one of the city’s most significant waterfront investment opportunities. Spanning 5.27 acres in an exceptional harborfront setting, the property combines premier coastal real estate with excellent redevelopment and value-enhancement potential. The unique positioning of the property offers panoramic views of the harbor, Goat Island, the Newport Bridge, and beyond. The location is just steps from Newport’s renowned waterfront attractions further distinguishing this landmark asset. The resort currently features 52 spacious, two-bedroom suites each with water views spanning four buildings, complemented by a full suite of resort-style amenities, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, and 208 on-site parking spaces. Adding to its unique appeal, Newport zoning approved a modification to the existing Special Use Permit, allowing the conversion of the current 52-unit transient guest facility into 152 one-bedroom hotel units. This entitlement creates a rare opportunity to significantly increase density and unlock future development potential in one of Newport’s most coveted waterfront locations.
