Your innkeepers, Mark and Dana Spring met while working at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. It is at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel that we discovered their mutual dream of opening a Newport RI Bed and Breakfast. Having grown up at a Bed and Breakfast on Nantucket Island for fifteen years, Dana knew from an early age that the hospitality field was a natural career path for her. After studying at Endicott College and receiving a major in Hotel/Restaurant Management, Dana moved on to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Boston where she focused on Guest Services and Sales. Before moving to our Newport, RI Inn, she worked as a Tourism Sales Manager for the European hotel company Le Meridien, gaining extensive experience in worldly travel and hotel sales.
In July of 2007, we welcomed our daughter, Morgan Gail Spring, into the world. Since then, Dana has taken on the full time challenging role as a mother, reducing her day to day Innkeeping role at our Newport Bed and Breakfast. She is, however, and will continue to be, active in the improvement of the Inn's interior and exterior decor, marketing presence, and overall success.
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I moved to Newport, RI where I obtained a position in Guest Services at the Cliffside Inn Bed and Breakfast and was promoted to Food and Beverage Manager. During my five years of employment at the Inn, I attended Johnson and Wales University, majoring in Hotel/Restaurant management. After Newport, I was hired by the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Boston to manage In-Room Dining, Honor Bar, and their famed Afternoon Tea Service. My final position before moving back to operate our Newport Rhode Island Inn was as a Concierge Manager for luxury condominiums managed by Barkan Management, a leading property management firm in Boston.
As your innkeeper, my goal is to provide you with the finest service and amenities throughout your stay in Newport. We hope to use our extensive hospitality experience to make your luxury vacation a tradition with us.
Mark Spring, Innkeeper/Owner
