Edge Realty Creative Edge Feature: The Holiday Hot Chocolate Bar at The Chanler

As the chill of late fall and early winter sweeps across Newport, one spot stands out for locals and visitors seeking comfort and a bit of festive indulgence: the Hot Chocolate Bar at The Chanler at Cliff Walk. For our Edge Report’s Creative Edge section, we’re spotlighting this cozy seasonal experience that perfectly blends luxury, tradition, and a touch of childhood nostalgia.

A Taste of Tradition, Elevated

The Chanler’s Hot Chocolate Bar isn’t your everyday cocoa stand. Each cup begins with premium Valrhona chocolate, renowned around the world and sourced straight from Tain L'Hermitage, France—the same region celebrated for its wines. This decadent chocolate is then mixed with velvety cream from Rhode Island’s own Wright’s Dairy Farm, creating a beverage both rich and memorable.

Whether you keep it classic or opt for a spirited adult twist, every sip is a journey—one that rekindles the magic of childhood while embracing the sophisticated flavors Newport is known for.

Experience by the Fire and the Sea

Open weekends throughout November and daily (except Christmas Day) from December 20–30, The Chanler invites guests to snuggle by their signature fire pit or soak up spectacular views along the Cliff Walk. No reservations needed, and complimentary parking means you can relax from the moment you arrive.

The Chanler’s Hot Chocolate Bar is more than a drink—it’s an experience woven into the fabric of Newport’s holiday season. It’s where luxury meets warmth, and community meets tradition.
