Around Newport

A look around the Carnegie Abbey Club

Only six miles away, Newport, Rhode Island, is a delightful "downtown" for Carnegie Abbey Club members. Its rich seafaring heritage and international social distinction-dating back to the Gilded Age of the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers and Astors-continue to make Newport an exclusive resort of relaxed sophistication, and Narragansett Bay a beacon for some of the world's finest yachts. Excellent restaurants and boutiques, museums and art galleries, antique shops and nightlife all combine against a backdrop of quaint New England streets and gleaming church steeples to make up the colorful swirl of legendary Newport.
