The 5 Star of New England - Rhode Island

What do Turk & Caicos; Baden Baden, Germany; New York City; and Rhode Island have in common? The answer might surprise some but not those in the know….

All have been awarded the prestigious Five Star Diamond seal of approval from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences (AAHS). Rhode Island has the additional honour of being the first US State to ever receive this achievement. The AAHS exclusively awards this Five Star award to places deemed to be the pinnacle of quality in the global travel and luxury services sector.

Rhode Island has won an Oscar! This is how Rhode Island Tourism Director Mark Brodeur described this award by saying “This is a huge accomplishment – this is our industry’s Academy Awards”.

Rhode Island Governor Carcieri agreed by saying that he has “always maintained that Rhode Island is the star of New England” and expressed his pleasure that “our state’s wonders and its hospitality have earned worldwide recognition as well”.

If you don’t already own property in a Five Star location, correct that by buying a luxury property in Rhode Island!

We offer tremendous value for our luxury and waterfront properties as compared to other luxury real estate destinations such as the Hamptons, Greenwich, Martha’s Vineyard, or Nantucket.

One example of the impeccable properties currently offered in Newport include Oakwood - the 19th-century summer residence of Mary Alida Astor Carey – which is revered as one of the finest historic properties of coastal New England. This 24-room Italianate-style home set in six acres of walled private grounds has hosted many of the area’s most distinguished families over the years. The price will pleasantly surprise you!
