"The city's beloved landmark since 1922, the Providence Biltmore has been treated to a multimillion-dollar renovation that has brought the rooms up to the 21st century."

"Most guest rooms are large, half of them with more than 600 square feet of floor space; some of the 20 suites have kitchenettes."

"Facing bustling Kennedy Plaza, this is Providence's grande dame, a well-loved local icon that has more history than hootzpah these days."

"Although the Biltmore’s lobby looks like a set for the Godfather, the rooms in this 1922 Providence landmark are plush, contemporary and recently renovated."

"New to Providence's slow-growing boutique-hotel scene, The Dean is a design darling and the only serious competition for the Hotel Providence."

It is almost easier to say what the rooms lack than what they have: There are no minibars or refrigerators, no coffeemakers, safes or iPod docks, and the baths are shower-only models that are tiled floor to ceiling in an effort to avoid having to install shower curtains.

"A stylish, welcoming blend of throwback style and modern features."

"With a craft cocktail bar, a karaoke lounge, and a beer garden, The Dean is yet more proof that Providence is no longer a sleepy college town."

"The Dean, in a century-old building that once housed a brothel, was named with a nod to nearby Brown University, and the look is equally smart."

"Downtown Providence used to offer little in the way of artsy lodging—for high-minded digs, travelers would stick to ocean-facing suites along the state’s southern coast."
