Newport offers a wide variety of hidden gems By Steve Card Couples looking to enjoy a romantic getaway on the Oregon Coast have lots of options in Newport. From quality lodging to fine restaurants to local places to enjoy and explore, this coastal destination is sure to create a memorable experience. A Diversity of Places to Stay Newport has motels and hotels to fit anyone’s needs, but why not make the place you stay one of the things you remember most? There are several boutique hotels — some with specific themes — that could provide just the experience you are looking for. Here are a few examples. Allred Hotel The Allred Hotel opened in early 2025 at a location overlooking the ocean in Newport’s Nye Beach District. Christie Reinhardt, general manager of the Allred, said, “We try to make every guest feel special and welcomed." The Allred welcomes guests traveling with their four-legged companions. “If they bring a pet with them, the pets will receive amenities,” Christie said. This includes a welcome bag with dog treats, a leash, and a water bowl. “Pets are family too, and this makes them feel welcome as well.” Guests can also enjoy the convenience of the Allred Bites + Bar, the hotel's on-site restaurant, making it an easy dining option without ever leaving the property. For those looking to explore Newport, the Allred is also just a short walk from a variety of local favorites, including Nana’s Irish Pub, Sorella Italian Restaurant, Zach’s Bistro, and more. Hotel Sylvia Another place offering a unique experience is Hotel Sylvia, also overlooking Nye Beach and the Pacific Ocean. It is located in a building constructed in 1905, originally known as The Cliff House. From 1920 until 1984, it was the Gilmore Hotel, and then from 1984 to 1924, it was the Sylvia Beach Hotel, known far and wide for its unique literary theme and author-specific rooms. VIP Hospitality Group, an Oregon-based, family-owned company that has six boutique hotels on the coast, purchased the building last year. After an extensive remodeling project, it reopened as Hotel Sylvia, and it has maintained the literary theme that has proven to be such a popular attraction. Erin Evan, one of the hotel’s employees, said, “We have seven rooms that are named after specific authors, and then the rest of our rooms are literary genres—romance, mystery, fantasy, literary nonfiction.” In keeping with the literary theme, many books can be found around the hotel, along with a dedicated reading room that has a great view of the ocean and the Yaquina Head Lighthouse in the distance. Erin was also very specific about one thing the hotel does not have. “There are no TVs in the rooms. It’s supposed to be a place where you can just come and relax and recharge,” she said. And for couples wanting that special getaway, Hotel Sylvia offers romance packages, “which includes a bouquet of roses, chocolates, and your choice of wine—with a late check-out,” said Erin. On the hotel’s lower level, Cafe Sylvia serves breakfast daily from 8 to 11 a.m., available to both guests and the public. Hotel Sylvia guests can also enjoy the Newport Visual Arts Center right next door. It offers free admission to several different art galleries. Also nearby is the Newport Performing Arts Center, which features a wide variety of concerts, plays, and dance performances. Learn more at coastarts.org. The Louie Boutique Motel The Louie Boutique Motel is another Newport destination offering a unique visitor experience. “Couples love The Louie because it feels personal and intimate,” said Catharine “Catt” Kuerbis, who is in charge of marketing. “With only six uniquely styled suites, each inspired by cultural icons, guests feel as though they’ve discovered a hidden gem,” she added. The blend of style, music, and coastal charm makes The Louie a memorable choice for couples seeking both inspiration and intimacy. “Also, our team at The Louie is always happy to deliver extra touches to turn up the dial on a romantic getaway,” said Catt. “We’ve received and delivered on requests to cover a room with rose petals and leave artisan chocolates and wine on the bedside table for arriving honeymooners and anniversary couples.” Newport Belle Bed & Breakfast The Newport Belle Bed & Breakfast is truly a one-of-a-kind lodging experience. It’s a 97-foot paddlewheel boat permanently moored at Newport’s South Beach Marina. “We are the only riverboat bed and breakfast in the United States,” said owner Randy Sanders. “Guests just love the fact that they’re actually on the water, that they’re actually on a boat. I think more than anything else, people just appreciate the fact that we’re very unique and very different from anything that they have done in the past.” The Newport Belle has five rooms, each perfect for a romantic getaway. “We do very special things for anniversaries,” Randy said. “If someone notifies us ahead of time, we always do something a little special for them when they come here. It’s a very intimate setting, it’s very personal, so we try to make everybody feel like they’re family while they’re here.” The Newport Belle offers guests a complimentary happy hour with wine, beer, and spirits every day between 5 and 6 p.m. “And we also do a full breakfast every morning for our guests, cooked by our chef,” Randy said. A short distance from the Newport Belle is the visitor center at the Hatfield Marine Science Center and the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
