Newport makes list of top cities to stay in 2015
By News Staff
A new accommodation ranking has named Newport one of the country’s top 50 cities to stay this year.
Hotel search site Trivago.com compiled a list of the top 50 cities in America for quality accommodation in 2015, and Newport came in at #17.
“Newport’s ranking between major tourism hubs like Philadelphia and New Orleans places it amongst some of America’s most sought after vacation spots,” says Samantha Fanelli, US Communications at Trivago. “A city’s reputation as a tourist destination depends largely on the quality of the accommodation available for travelers. With its seaside culture, celebrated history and some of the best rated hotels in the nation, Newport is definitely a top city to discover in 2015.”
“Today’s savvy travelers increasingly rely on online reviews to choose lodging best suited for both their leisure and business travel needs,” says Evan Smith, President and CEO of Discover Newport. “They also use search sites to compare rates. Trivago offers a comprehensive search and booking experience and we’re delighted that Newport was ranked in the Top 20 Cities to Stay, especially as the site garners more than 80 million visitors per month.”
The data was compiled by combining and averaging hotel ratings for every city in America with at least 50 hotel properties and hotel ratings from 31 websites.
Boston came in at #10 on the list. The top city was Sedona, Arizona.
