Step Into the Gilded Age: An Immersive Newport Experience Inspired by HBO

This week we’re shining the spotlight on one of Newport, Rhode Island’s most enchanting offers: the Gilded Age Experience at Castle Hill Inn. History, luxury, and cinematic glamour combine in a getaway that lets travelers relive the extravagant era that inspired HBO’s acclaimed series, The Gilded Age.

Why Is This So Special?
Guests are treated to a two-night luxury stay at the iconic Castle Hill Inn, complete with daily gourmet breakfasts, afternoon tea, and a curated tasting menu for two at Aurelia—a celebrated on-site restaurant. But the opulence doesn’t end there: the package includes two tickets to one of the grand Newport Preservation Society mansions, whose real-life splendor and decor inspired the Russells’ New York palace on the show. Many scenes from the drama were also filmed at these locations, giving guests an up-close look at TV history.

What’s Included:

• Two-night stay at Castle Hill Inn

• Daily gourmet breakfast and afternoon tea

• Tasting menu dinner for two at Aurelia

• Welcome amenity upon arrival

• Tickets for two to a Newport mansion with self-guided audio tour

• Complimentary Wi-Fi, valet parking, digital subscriptions, use of bicycles, premium bath amenities, and more

Edge Realty’s Take:
This package stands out not just as a lavish escape, but as an immersive experience for luxury travelers and fans of architectural history alike. We recommend it to anyone looking to blend culture, TV nostalgia, and upscale comfort in their next Northeast getaway. With bookings available through December 2025, it’s a perfect fall or winter treat.
