The Ocean House Is... Kind Of A Big Deal

The Ocean House in Watch Hill deserves a round of applause. The golden crown of Westerly’s exclusive enclave just earned its biggest recognition yet: Travel + Leisure has ranked it the #1 resort in the Continental US and the #5 hotel in the world. The Ocean House, which underwent a $146 million renovation in 2004 and boasts a 13-acre property overlooking the bluffs of Watch Hill, direct access to private white-sand beach, a croquet lawn, putting green, gardens, fine dining and a 5-star spa, has gotten plenty of love in the past – from Condé Nast Traveler, Forbes, and Fodor’s, no less. For diners, spa-goers, hotel guests and visitors, there’s no experience like summering at the Ocean House, or even just spending an evening at a Thursday night clambake. So let’s raise a glass – and our pinkies – and drink to their success.
