Francis Malbone House, Georgian house hotel in Thames Street, Newport, United States.
The three-story brick mansion features a grand central hall, divided arch, Palladian window, and detailed wood paneling throughout the interior spaces.
Built in 1760 by architect Peter Harrison for Colonel Francis Malbone, the house served as storage for British forces during the American Revolution.
The Gilbert Stuart portrait of Francis Malbone Jr. and his brother, painted in 1770, remains displayed at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
The hotel offers eighteen guest rooms with marble bathrooms, serves gourmet breakfast from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, and afternoon tea between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
Underground passages in the cellar connect to a tunnel system leading to Newport Harbor, used by Colonel Malbone for merchandise transportation.
