Newport, Rhode Island – celebrated for its stunning seascapes, famous mansions, Jazz Festival, annual Flower Show and world-class sailing – provides an enviable setting for a storied way of life. From Presidents to philanthropists, it is also known for the stylish residents who have summered and socialized here.
In this fabled town where privacy is a treasured asset, Living Newport showcases both the heirs of the old guard and the “new” Newport social set; tastemakers all, they have the means and the ability to live anywhere but choose this perennially-favored City by the Sea.How does private Newport entertain, decorate, party, garden, dress? In elegant settings worthy of Masterpiece Theater, social pastimes, rituals and well-earned traditions play out in lush images with Newport’s exceptional old-world architecture as the centerpiece. Amusing tales and lively personal anecdotes capture the fresh twist to this distinctive lifestyle.
