Our Story
Spring House Hotel has the best ocean breezes on Block Island. And it is considered one of the Island’s most elegant historic landmarks". Yankee Magazine
Built-in 1852, the Spring House Hotel is Block Island’s oldest and largest hotel. The well-maintained red mansard roof, large wraparound veranda, and distinctive cupola contribute to its beautifully authentic New England charm. The 10-acre promontory upon which the hotel sits creates a beloved feature of the hotel: the unbeatable view of the Atlantic Ocean and of Block Island’s rolling foothills. With relaxing Adirondack chairs lining the crest of the undulating lawn, many island visitors find themselves stopping in for a signature cocktail.
The Spring House Hotel offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout our peak season (June-September). Dinner guests are offered the choice between enjoying our Bistro or Dining Room menus. Both restaurant concepts offer indoor and outdoor seating. An important mission of our establishment has become farm-to-table dining. Three gardens, located on the hotel property, are in a constant state of bloom. The produce is reflected daily in our menus.
With over 55 hotel accommodations, three onsite apartments, three on-property guest homes, and four off-site townhomes, there are accommodation types available for all interested guests. Whatever the size of your party, we have accommodations for you!
The current family has managed the property for over 30 years. Though changes and upgrades are constantly in motion, maintaining its famous old-world charm is the top priority. The property's most recent expansion is the Inn at Spring House, an adults-only, luxury accommodation located just down our driveway from the Main Building.
The Spring House Hotel is located just a short walk uphill from Old Harbor, making it easy to get to and from the ferry and shops.
