comfortably cosmopolitan...welcome to the Hampton Inn & Suites-Providence Downtown, RI. Not all that long ago, Providence was considered little more than a Boston suburb. Now, this city has truly come of age, celebrating with a revitalized waterfront along the Providence River and a restored corridor of Revolutionary-era buildings. Providence is home to Brown University, Providence College, Johnson & Wales University and one of the most notable art and design schools in the country, the Rhode Island School of Design; all located just minutes from the historic downtown address of the Hampton Inn & Suites® Providence. Get down to business in the heart of this vibrant capital city. You'll easily make your meeting on time because the Hampton Inn & Suites® Providence is conveniently located in the bustling financial district adjacent to Bank America, Textron and Citizen's Bank. Providence is also home to highly regarded medical facilities including Rhode Island Hospital, Miriam Hospital, Brown Alpert Medical School’s Women & Infants and Roger Williams Medical Center. There's so much more to Providence than getting business done, however. Get a peek into the past as a member of a walking tour of historic Benefit Street hosted by the Rhode Island Historical Society. Relive your own college days as you stroll through the stoic campus of Brown University. Just across the river from our hotel in Providence and next door to Brown is the Rhode Island School of Design art gallery, home to some 84,000 pieces from Greek statues to French Impressionism. Visit the zoo and enjoy a picnic at Roger Williams Park, just ten minutes from the Hampton Inn & Suites Providence. Despite a rich history and a keen eye toward progress, Providence has held on to something many cosmopolitan cities quickly shed: a comfortable personality and a certain small-town charm. services & amenities Even if you're in Providence to enjoy the great outdoors, we want you to enjoy our great indoors as well.
