With 46 beautifully appointed rooms and suites housed within the iconic 1887 Exchange Building, a stunning example of Queen Anne-style architecture, The Beatrice has quickly become a favored destination for discerning travelers. The hotel’s lobby is a visual masterpiece, featuring a magnificent chandelier suspended over what was once an alleyway between two buildings. The rooms offer an array of high-quality features and amenities, catering to the modern traveler.

Jennifer Curtin, the hotel’s General Manager since its opening in 2021, reflected on The Beatrice’s growing recognition. “It has been a privilege to lead our incredible team through this exciting journey. Earning a spot among the best hotels in New England is a true reflection of our dedication to providing exceptional hospitality. I am immensely proud of what our team has achieved as we continue to build The Beatrice’s reputation as a standout property in both Providence and the greater region.”

The Beatrice is not only a destination for visitors but also a popular gathering spot for locals.

Additionally, the hotel boasts the exclusive Bellini Rooftop, a private membership club available only to hotel guests and members, providing a luxurious, intimate atmosphere.

The hotel was named after Beatrice Temkin, Joseph Paolino’s mother, in recognition of her legacy as a lifelong Rhode Island resident and committed philanthropist. A mosaic portrait of her, crafted in Italy, adorns the lobby and serves as a reminder of her lasting impact on the community. This tribute is complemented by various artistic and storytelling elements throughout the property.
