  • Timeless Elegance

    The Vanderbilt has debuted newly reimagined and refreshed guest rooms and suites, providing fresh and modern accommodations infused with the glamour of our downtown Mansion. Handcrafted architectural details, unique furnishings and flirtatious eccentricities, make for a one-of-a-kind East Coast escape.

  • Relax & Reset

    Visit The Spa at The Vanderbilt, our exclusive, urban spa offering tailored and curated treatments. Relax and restore body and soul with a visit to our exquisite treatment rooms, sauna and steam showers. Indulge in a unique hot stone massage that uses stones washed under the breaking waters of the Atlantic Shoreline and a signature body treatment that incorporates natural botanicals. Warmed by a cozy fireplace, our Tranquility Room is ideal for couples, mother-daughters or friends who wish to unwind following their treatment.

  • Unforgettable Dining

    Our contemporary New England cuisine has been rooted in the local and seasonal long before they were the mots du jour on menus across the country.

If you are looking for a different type of meeting space, than look no further than The Vanderbilt! Our team didn't want our meetings in the classic bland conference rooms all day for our 2-day retreat and The Vanderbilt couldn't have been a better match. Every "meeting" room is stunning and comfortable, and the staff is incredible, helping with every little last minute event thing that always pops up. Also, the guest rooms are luxurious, and our team was so grateful for this hotel choice. I can't say enough good things about our experience here!
